Progress

Today we had our 2 week well check with our pediatrician. I was a bit apprehensive about going into the germy doctor’s office. But good news came from it. Cecilia is up another half pound. She weighed in at 8 lbs today. That makes a weight gain of one pound in a week’s time or about 2 oz per day. She also grew 2.5 inches since she was born. Now she’s up to 20.5 inches. Our pediatrician was pleased with her progress as was I. Since the average weight gain for infants is 1/2 to 1 oz per day, he gave us the green light to lay off the formula a little bit. He just said to watch her feeding cues and ‘maybe’ go to supplementing every other feeding. He also said I let her sleep longer at night instead of waking her every three hours! Alleluhia! I don’t have set the alarm anymore–Adam will be very pleased since it’s on his side of the bed. This was also more or less the opinion of the lactation consultant when I talked with her yesterday to update her on everything.

In other news…our bathroom–remember that huge mess?–is almost fixed. The tub was installed earlier this week. Wednesday and yesterday the tile was put in. Today, it was grouted with the most amazing grout–one that we never have to maintain, regrout, or seal EVER for the rest of our lives! It was worth every penny. The walls were patched up. The grout should be dry by Sunday and the guys are coming back out to finish the last touches on Monday.
