We've learned a lot about our little girl (and babies in general) in the last two weeks. She's such a sweet girl, but she definitely knows what she likes...and doesn't like.
Hailey is slowly getting into a schedule (then quickly breaking it...like now). She's eating every three hours during the day and every 3-5 hours at night. She cries when she's hungry or getting her diaper changed, but that's about it until evening.
Every night after dinner Steve gives me time to take a bath/shower while he has "Sprouty time." This is usually when she gets fussy, but Steve is SO patient with her.
We went to the doctor on Tuesday to check her weight. She's back to her birth weight but only gained 3.5 oz instead of the desired 5 oz in a week so she's going back next week for another check. The nurse thinks she's fine, but just wants to be sure. I contribute the low weight gain to the spit up and giant nasty diaper before we weighed her.
We haven't ventured out too much, but we've been to her great-grandparents 3 times! Matt and Arlene love their time with their first great-grandchild and Hailey LOVES to sleep in her great-grandma's arms. Arlene has had a lot of practice with 12 children and several grandchildren. She's a pro!
Hailey will be getting her first real bath tonight. Thanks to the warming lights in the hospital, her umbilical cord is already off. I'm hoping she likes it more than the sponge bath.
It looks like the swing did it's magic and she's snoozing. Time for this momma to do the same thing!
