Time is too fast! I want to slow it down so I can just cuddle my beautiful baby and stare at her all day. I love being able to hold her and absorb her sweetness and newborn perfection. She is so wonderful!
Baby has been off her medications for an entire week! The first few days were rough as she quit sleeping. She spent most of the time content to stare at her sisters as they played but was typically fussy in the evening. The worst part was that she only averaged 6-8 hours of sleep for an entire 24 hour period. But now that the medications are out of her system, shes sleeping better and doing great. We checked in with her pediatrician this week and even took her off the respiratory monitor! (thus, I held her and danced around singing "i've got no strings to hold me down..." from Pinocchio.)
She's 23.5 inches long and 12 lb 4 oz, putting her in the 75th percentile (and making her our smallest baby). She loves to sit up against me and look around (she hates laying flat even when sleeping). She holds her head so well until she gets tired (and then she starts to resemble a bobble head doll). She's quickly growing out of her adorable newborn cry, the sad broken hearted whimper, and replacing it with a loud, demanding scream that renders me incapable of thinking. Fortunately those moments are rare.
