"oh, hey dad, what's going on with you? i'm just laying here on this table....."    |

happy to be back at home. "let's don't do that again, okay?!" |
this morning was hayes' 2 month appointment. she was really a good little patient. she had a great check-up. the dr. is very impressed with her growth - she is now in the 50th percentile in weight. she weighed in at 10 pounds 14 ounces! not bad for the little 5 pounder that i delivered 2 months ago=)
she was 21.5 inches long (25th%). her head circumference was 38 cm (25th%).
she looked great! that's what we like to hear - good health is an answered prayer. the doctor said that her reflux must be under control or else we wouldn't see such excellent growth.
hayes is still what i would call a high maintenance baby. she has the newborn fussies - it just is what it is. there are 3 positives about it though #1: her fussies don't seem to be out of pain much anymore which means that prevacid is working for her and keeping her comfy. #2: she is easy to console. she is very picky about how she is held and she is a baby who craves schedule/routine - we can handle that! although....not the easiest kind of second baby to have being that we are about to be busy running big sis all over the place, but we will survive. and #3: we know from experience that month 3 brings more contented babies - the doctor said today that by week 14 (if not before) we should have a baby whose happy times far outnumber the fussy ones. we are already having some really good days here and there!
labor day weekend post to come! sweet girl went to church for the first time which she really enjoyed but it totally threw her off her nap schedule. just like her sis - needs a swaddle and a crib/swing to nap. i was reminded why we were such lowsy church members when sk was a newborn. who can nap with all that lovely (LOUD) music playing off and on anyway?!
