Janie met her Uncle Johnny and Auntie Joy this morning. They flew up with Ta this morning from LA.
Daddy’s working.
Mornings are the best time for Janie and Daddy to hang out. Unfortunately, Daddy’s always having to work but on the other hand, she’s becoming a pretty good early morning alarm and supervisor.
Dreaming?
Janie’s been taking naps that last almost 3 hours now. Today, she was sleeping so soundly that I was able to unwrap her, change her diaper, rewrap her, move her to the bed to take some photos, and then place her back in her bed without as much as a squeak from her. I love it when she smiles in her sleep. I wonder if she’s dreaming yet.
12 days
This is the first of a series of photos that I’ll be taking as Little Janie grows. Señor Fatty Duck Duck will be the constant and he should appear to be shrinking as Janie gets bigger. She’s 12 days old today and has already grown an inch! I pulled out the tape measure this morning and she’s measuring 21 inches long. Is she going to outgrow her newborn clothes this month?! NOOOO!!!
Happy Nap :)
First Bath
On Saturday afternoon, Janie’s umbilical cord stump fell off. We let it air dry for a couple days and had it checked by the nurse today during our weight check visit. She said it looked healed and that it was ok to give her a bath. Yay!
So tonight, we got the bath ready and it was time for a little soak in the warm water. We had a feeling she wouldn’t like it and we were right. She cried most of the time but actually calmed for a bit in the middle.
It was a really quick bath and I was surprised we were able to get a few photos taken of the “traumatic” experience.
She stopped crying immediately after she was taken out of the water and wrapped up in her towel. What a funny girl.
She was also pretty chill while Daddy put on her diaper and PJs. It was almost time for a feeding so we had to give her a pacifier too, which kept her satisfied until we were finished drying and dressing her.
Here she is about 30 minutes later after getting all cleaned and fed.
Hello.
Funny Face
Janie was wide awake this afternoon and she’s already making funny faces in our photos together.
Weight Check
We went to the doctor for our last weight check of the month and Little Janie is gaining weight steadily. Today, she weighs 8 pounds, 5 ounces. Yay!
She was also much better with having her clothes and diaper taken off without crying. Good baby.
Here’s a summary of these past 2 weeks:
4/20 (Day 0) Birth Weight: 7 lbs, 10 oz.
4/22 (Day 2) Discharge Weight: 7 lbs. 1 oz.
4/23 (Day 3) First Check-up with Pediatrician: 7 lbs. 5 oz.
4/27 (Day 7) Weight Check: 8 lbs.
5/1 (Day 11) Weight Check: 8 lbs. 5 oz.
The next check-up is scheduled for May 21st when she turns one month.
10 days old
We had a fun time just hanging out this morning.
She also didn’t mind Tummy Time this morning.
She’s 10 days old now and smiling more.
