Kendall is now three weeks old and looks much less like a California Raisin and more like a little round baby! She weighed in at 8 pounds 11 ounces at the doctor this week and he appeared to be quite impressed with her weight gain. No shots at this appointment, but there was another heel stick. Kendall was sound asleep when this occurred and it was NOT a pleasant way to wake up but she went back to sleep quickly. She is in the 25th percentile in head circumference (I was assured that this does not mean she has a tiny brain), the 55th percentile in weight and the 75th percentile in length. We were given the go-ahead to stop waking her up to eat at night and let her sleep up to 6 hours. Of course, she hasn't done this, but she has gone 5 hours ...and then promptly woke up shrieking with a vengeance for food!
New things this week:
1. Kendall seems to enjoy baths in the tub on her bath pillow! Yay!
2. Kendall smiles A LOT (yeah yeah, I know it's gas!)
3. Kendall looks around a lot more and seems to recognize certain people.
4. Kendall has a sneeze count of "3" ... this was proudly discovered by her Daddy!
5. Kendall stayed at home with not one but TWO babysitters while Chris and I got out of the house for dinner. Grandmother and Nana GLADLY gave up their wild and crazy Friday night plans to hang out with a wild and crazy 3 week old for a few hours. Thank you to both of them!!
Kendall's Nana is leaving Sunday and then Mommy is on her own. I fully expect the dogs to get thinner and for Chris, Kendall and myself to be living in squalor for a while!
(Trip to the Arboretum with Mary and internal Gizmo)
We got a membership at the Arboretum up the street and spent some time hanging out with my friend Mary and Kendall's soon to be born friend, Gizmo (not his real name). Kendall says, hurry up and get out here Gizmo!!
