Reagan's 2 week check


Reagan had her 2 week check on today (a few days early) and she is doing great! She is now 8lbs 13ozs and 21 inches; wow! A week ago she was 7lbs 11oz and they want her to regain her birth weight by 2 weeks. She has more than done that! Her doc addressed all my questions and concerns throughly and I have nothing to worry about.

Reagan has been sleeping so much these past few weeks; like 21hrs a day. She will go 4 or 5 hours sometimes if I let her but I was waking her up to eat (trying to at least). Since her weight gain has been so great her doc said don't wake her and let her tell me when she needs to eat. I am going to have to pump some because I am getting engorged when she goes so long between feedings (and sometimes only finishes one side), which sucks, but if she wants to sleep those long streaches we need to let her! She occasionally gets fussy at night, doesn't need anything and just wants to be awake. But this has not been every night and often she will go right back to sleep after a diaper change and nursing. She still does not want to stay down in her crib (or pack and play) but she goes down pretty well in her swing or bouncy seat and so we are already bed sharing less. We are going to work on the crib more next week when my mom is gone (the guest bed is in Reagan's room) She is such a good girl! So far:0)
