The past few days, Adalyn has been a much less fussy baby. She still cries. A lot. Don't get me wrong. But she's now sleeping. A lot. Maybe too much? I don't know, but like my husband says, don't look a gift horse in the mouth.
The sleeping a lot thing has led to a happy baby much more often than we're used to. I've snapped more happy baby videos in the past three days than I had in her entire life to-date. Woot!
Here's one such example. :) She was having a grand old time staring at the ceiling fan while mommy got a quick work-out in. Did you hear that? I got a work-out in while Adalyn was awake! This is unprecedented! (The first ten seconds are BO-ring. And the last ten. Oh, AND the quality leaves a lot to be desired. Cell phone camera. 'Nuff said.)
Here are all of Adalyn's stats (old ones for comparison):
3 days old: 7.69 lbs (51%), 20 inches (66%), 13.25" head circumference (20%)
2 months old: 11.69 lbs (61%), 23 inches (63%), 15" head circumference (22%)
She looked great at her appointment. Her shots didn't go over well, which was funny for us because Ben, like, doesn't feel pain. At all of his shot appointments, he would shed maybe two tears and then go back to business as usual. Adalyn screamed this crazy scream and just wouldn't calm down. I, of course, broke into hysterics crying myself. But she's healthy and slowly getting happier, so I can't really complain (ahem - much). God is good.
What a cute little doll! Glad you got a workout in. What are you doing at home for exercise? I would LOVE to get P90x but have been running/doing stairs whenever I can get out of the house a bit! She is growing beautifully, great job Chelsea!
ReplyDeleteI swore my children would know no pain, but Charis has always let me down in the doctor's office. It's probably harder on the parents in some ways, but I always told Michelle (and myself) that a few moments of pain beats the diseases they guard against any day of the week. =/
ReplyDeleteAdalyn is so adorable! And I love your new header! (I have no idea how long you've had that...Google reader...)
ReplyDeleteKendra, I'm just doing the 10 Minute Solutions series that you can stream on Netflix. I love it because I almost always have ten minutes to spare here and there, so I try to get at least three in a day. I want to do P90X SO badly, we just don't have the funds for it at this moment. If you get it, let me know how you like it! I've been eyeballing it for over a year now.
ReplyDeleteMatt, you're SO right!
Thanks Jessica! :)
She reminds me so much of Ben!
ReplyDeleteI know, right?! Twinkies, those two.
