Weight Check

Yesterday we went to the doctor to reweigh Jenna. She gained 11 oz and now weighs 9 lbs 1 oz! I was so excited to hear that news. He said that he was hoping she'd gain 10 oz. Everything else went great at the appointment, but after we left she's been making this little cough sound and sounds congested, so I think she might be coming down with her first cold. :(

On a completely un-baby related note. Thanks to everyone for the birthday wishes yesterday! I had a great day. Aaron bought me a beautiful blue topaz (Jenna's birthstone) necklace. I love it! Then he asked my parents to watch her while he took me to dinner. We went to a Japanese steakhouse, which is one of my favorite places to eat and somewhere we wouldn't be able to bring Jenna, so it was a perfect choice.

Welcome to Motherhood...

Last night Jenna had a feeding around 4 am. I was soothing her back to sleep and was holding her in my arms, facing out. As I was getting ready to place her in her crib, she spit up all over the crib! We don't have the basinette set up anymore, so I had to put her in the bouncer (now wide awake) and change the sheet. Those of you short mommas out there (and maybe tall ones, too) know that changing a crib sheet can be a bit of a challenge! I got it done and put her back down. I went back to bed and heard a funny sound on the monitor. I was worried that the sheet wasn't on good enough and came off one corner, so I rushed back into the nursery. As soon as I got in there, she spit up again! This time since she was on her back, it got all over her clothes and settled under her head, thus soaking her hair and back. So, I stripped her down and got a washcloth and cleaned her off. Little miss hates being naked and even more so hates being wet, so she got upset. I got her changed and she settled quickly. By that point, I was worried she was sick, so I got out the thermometer. I don't have one designated for rectal use yet, so we did an ear test which told me her temp was 92F. Hm, I don't think that's right. I did the kiss her head test and it felt the same temp as my lips, so I decided she wasn't sick. I think that she probably didn't get all her burps out. Her spitup was only on one half of the bed, so I put her down on the other half and we both went back to sleep. Good news is that she is still going to bed really well for us!
