Today Laila went to the Dr for a 'weigh-in' to make sure that she was still gaining weight nicely, and to just check in and make sure she is OK. Her belly button is nicely healed, and while she still has some jaundice, this is normal. The Dr said this can last for a little while. At her appointment last week she weighed 6 pounds 9 ounces (an ounce more than her birth weight) and today she weighed 6 pounds 15 ounces! So good job Laila! Packing on those ounces - all thanks to the fact that she has her Daddy's appetite. Today has been no exception to that either - she has been eating like crazy tonight! She has also been awake a lot today, so hopefully she will sleep tonight. She has been a bit fussy, but that might just be from all of the stuff going on today. She did sleep for most of the night last night... she was awake from 12:30-2 or 2:30 or so, but other than that she slept great, waking up every two or three hours to eat. The Dr said that her feeding may slow to every 3 or 4 hours at one month - definitely looking forward to that.
We had a very nice visit from my friend Kim and her daughter Ava (I lived with them for Ava's first year of life and helped take care of Ava). It has been almost a year since I last saw them, so that was really nice! Kim made Enzio and me a delicious lunch, and Ava (now almost 3 years old) decorated a page to put in Laila's baby scrapbook. It was a very nice visit! Now I am just waiting to hear back from my cousin Juliet about bringing over a lasagna that her mom made for us - yum!
