Mommy's Big Girl

Two month check up time!!

Norah had her pediatrician appointment today- she's weighing in at 12 lbs. 3 oz. (though 12 lbs on the nose is what I am calling her weight because she drank 3 oz. of milk in waiting room ;0) and 23 inches. I am happy to see that her weight gain has slowed a little since she went from 6 lbs 11 oz. at birth to 10 lbs. 12 oz. at her one month appointment. I was picturing one of those 40 lb. one-year-olds!! She's still in the 90th percentile for weight and at 60% for height.

She's been doing well on the Zantac for her reflux, so we're gonna keep her on it for a while longer. I also had some questions about napping since she doesn't like them and Dr. Smail gave me the OK to let her cry for 10-15 min if I am sure she's just refusing to sleep and doing her "I'm tired" cry. She recommended turning the monitor down and watch the clock until 10 min passes. Then check on her. She was impressed that I'm already trying to get Norah in a nap routine because too many parents wait to long and then end up with a toddler who REFUSES to nap. So I guess we'll see how it goes tomorrow.

She recieved four shots at the appointment. I felt so bad for her because she was in such a good mood and smiling at the nurses and doctor and she fell asleep waiting for the nurse to come in and give her the shots. What a rude awakening to be stabbed repeatedly in her little chunky thighs! I wish I had taken my camera because the wail was so pitiful. Luckily, she calmed down and went back to sleep as soon as she was back in mommy's arms.

This afternoon, she spending time with Beba and Papa (Brenda and Paul) so I can get some work done and have some quiet time. Its funny, I keep expecting her to wake up from her nap and start crying...then I remember she's not here.

I have been organizing my sewing stuff and prepping to make some curtains for the master bath. Brad pulled up the hardwood and put down tile and it looks so good. We've now replaced the mirrors, floors and light fixture. Once I get the curtains and the outhouse pictures up, it'll be complete and we can move on to the next project ;0) It's a neverending construction zone around here!
