So, Lexie will be three weeks old tomorrow. How time flies! We had a pediatrician appointment today. Lexie weighs 10 pounds 9.7 ounces (she's gained 1 pound 3 ounces) and is 20 3/4 inches long (she's grown 3/4 of an inch). She's dealing with a little bit of reflux, so we're starting her on some baby Zantac. The doctor said that the other option was to add rice cereal to her formula, but since she's gaining weight so well, she didn't want to add those empty calories. So she got her first dose tonight, and we're hoping to see a difference in a few days.
Doug and I are learning to deal with little-to-no sleep. She wakes up 2-3 times a night to eat, and that takes awhile. I think that's because of her reflux, so - fingers crossed - when the Zantac kicks in I'm hoping it won't take as long to eat.
I'm attaching a few pictures for your viewing pleasure. She's a sweet, sweet girl - the light of our life and our pride and joy. We are so thrilled to have her home. Now if we can get a little sleep..... :)
Lexie and Daddy at the hospital - less than 24 hours old.
Mommy and Lexie on discharge day - 3 days old.
Baby smiles - 1 week old.
BIG yawn (with a milky tongue) - 1 week old
Sleeping Beauty - how cute is this baby?? - 20 days old
She sleeps so much (during the day!) that it's hard to get a picture of her eyes. As for now, they're a very pretty deep blue. And when her hair is wet, it has red highlights in it. I can't see who she looks like...I've had people tell me she looks just like Doug and others tell me she looks just like me. ???
Hope you all are well. Lexie sends her love!
