We’re doing it
The kids and I have survived our first two days alone together and even survived our first solo outing!
Boo had his two week doctor appointment this morning, so I loaded up both the kiddos and headed off to see how the little man is doing. He got a great report. His weight is up to 8 pounds 14 ounces (14 ounces above birth weight and 1 pound 5 ounces above 3 day old weight) and he has grown a half inch already! We were a bit concerned because he will only sleep in the carseat or the swing; when I asked the doc about it she said it was nothing to worry about, that he probably just has a bit of reflux so a more upright position is more comfortable. She suggested putting a phone book under the head of the crib mattress to elevate him a little, so we might try putting him in his big bed this weekend (the crib as opposed to the carseat sitting in the cradle). Otherwise, all was well.
Going into the trip I was somewhat apprehensive about how Little would handle the visit to the doctor’s office. She did great! She looked a bit unsure when the nurse first came to get us, but I think she quickly realized that she wasn’t the one who had to see the doc. Of course, I’m sure it helped that the nurse gave her a lollipop right after we went back to the exam room.
We all made it home in one piece, enjoyed some lunch, and then napped. Now we’re looking forward to Daddy getting home in about an hour and a nice, peaceful weekend at home.
Hope you all have a wonderful weekend!
So glad it is going well! My FB slept in his car seat for a while. It was the only place he would sleep other than my chest!
Good for you! I’m glad your first excursion went well. Enjoy your weekend together.
My daughter (9 months old) slept on her boppy pillow between my husband and I for the first 6 weeks. Our bed was a little cramped. We never had this problem with our older two, thankfully.
that is awesome! i’m glad he’s doing so well! hey, if you have any questions about reflux, let me know..it was one of the many problems reagan had
