Kaley is growing fast! She grew an inch (now 20 inches) and gained a pound. Last week when we went to the doctor for her jaundice she was 6 lbs 10 oz and yesterday she was 7 lbs 10 oz!! It was a very exciting day for all of us because the doctor said we could stop waking her up every three hours at night and wait for her to wake us up. She has been sleeping so well these first two weeks that we have to actually set an alarm to wake her up to feed every three hours. However, last night was the first night we could let her sleep until she woke up and guess what...that little stinker woke up every three hours on the dot!!!! I couldn't believe it. Actually, yes I could. I knew it was going to happen that way. Oh well, she is worth every bit of sleep deprivation! At least she goes right back to sleep after I feed her. John and I are really trying to enjoy this time that she is sleeping so well and not being fussy.
Her cord fell off yesterday, so tonight she got her first real bath and I think she really liked it. She fussed a bit when we first put her in the water but after that she was very content and didn't fuss or cry at all.
Her Uncle Lee came into town last night and got to see her for the first time which was very exciting for everyone! He couldn't believe how small she is and I can't believe how fast she is growing!
I am sure we will have more to post after Thanksgiving so check back in a couple days.
