First of all, this little girl is so stinkin' cute!!
Secondly, I'm going to blame her cuteness for the lack of posts for the past month. She's just too fun (and, let's be honest, sometimes exhausting).
I'm going to try and do better though, at least once a week is my goal.
She's doing great! Weighing in a 7 lbs even at her appointment last week. I can't believe next week she will be 4 months old. That's insanely crazy!
She's still a little anemic, but her levels are higher than they were when she left the hospital, so that's a good thing. They are just going to keep an eye on it.
She's starting to want to sleep more at night, but our doctor doesn't want her going much over 4 hours yet, because she's still small. So, sometimes it's tough to wake her up and take a full feeding, but she at least gets half of one usually.
Still taking reflux medication, two of them now. It is helping, not curing, but helping. She's had a little thrush too, so we are on medicine to deal with that - she does not like that.
Yesterday, we had a pretty big milestone! My cousin, Lindsey was taking to her while I was in the other room and I heard her say "You're just full of smiles", well, I thought it was probably just gas, but NO! She was really smiling back at her! It's so fun to see her smile at you! Sometimes, I'm having so much fun with her smiling, that I forget I'm supposed to be getting her changed so she can eat! She will even make a cooing noise when she smiles, almost like a little laugh. It's so CUTE!!
I can't believe I have to go back to work in 2 weeks. I want them to go by so slowly, although, I fear they will not! At least I know she will be home with Matt during the day. That brings a lot of comfort.
Okay, I think I'm going to go sneak in a quick nap before she wakes up.
Seeing the smiles and hearing the cooing via Skype is great, but I can't wait to see it in person this weekend. Yay!!
