This week has been such a busy week. The Welcome Baby nurse came on monday and it was wonderful!! Abby weighed in at 8 pounds 7 ounces! I feel like she taught me alot of helpful information. I learned that the dandruff I thought Abby had on her scalp was actually cradle cap. EEK! but she told me how to treat it and it is pretty much gone now. She also showed me how to use the Boppy pillow during tummy time. As you can see above, Abby is doing a great job and has been able to lift her head alot! The Welcome Baby program is great! The nurse is going to keep coming back over the next few months and will keep checking her progress. It is very helpful to a first time mom who has no clue what she is doing!
Here is Abby in her first ride in the bouncy chair! She seemed to like it.
Unfortunately, I caught her too late but here is a picture of Abby lifting and turning her head. From this view you can see her hair. She has almost no hair on top of her head but the hair on the back of her head is thicker and pretty long.
Here she is looking at me with those eyes that say "Mom, why do you make me do this tummy time thing!"
Tuesday was Jason's birthday. Unlike Abby's weekly birthdays, I will not update you on his weight or his development. On tuesday, we just had dinner and cake at our house with a couple of friends. Today we had a barbecue at our house to celebrate and were able to see some friends we haven't seen in awhile. It was definately a good time.
On friday, I took Abby into the doctors office. She had what looked like baby acne but then it just kept spreading all over. It is on her eyelids, ears, neck, shoulders and chest. I, being the paranoid mom that I am, took her in. I was just worried it was some type of really bad rash. They said it is called Sebborhea and it is related to the cradle cap. Poor girl. When they weighed her yesterday, she weighed in at 8 pounds, 13 and 1/2 ounces but this time they didn't have me undress her or change her diaper first so I'm not sure how accurate that is. I am just glad she seems to be growing at a good rate. Well, I will try to keep updating everyone each week. Until then, Love you all!
P.S. Happy late birthday to my brother in law Kevin and his wife Susan!!
Hey, I'm doing good. It looks like you guys are too and having fun! She is so cute. How fun. When I read your blog I feel like I'm not documenting enough. And I don't think I've given either girl tummy time. So anyway, things are good. I'm hoping to get rid of the 3rd feeding at night so I can get some sleep, but I think we're headed that way. How is she doing with her diet? It sounds like you can nurse. I've been wondering about you.
ReplyDeleteThat's too funny about Al and his weight and height LOL!! We sent him a card last week. Hope he got it.
ReplyDeleteAbby is growing so much! Glad te home nurse was able to come and give you good advise!
Take care hugs!
Yea sounds like a busy week for you all. Glad the home nurse was helpful. Glad Al had a good birthday. Did he receive his gift from us? Well we are meaning to call you to say hi, we will soon. Things are a bit busy and crazy with us this week.
ReplyDeleteYeah, we called it "cradle crap"!! LOL
ReplyDeleteI hadn't checked your blog for awhile and I'm so glad to see updates of little Abby. She is so lucky to have you two as parents!! What a sweet angel. Her grandma & grandpa are anxious to see her for her blessing. Speaking of them....I don't see any grandparent pictures on here AT ALL!!! Come on now..... :)
