One Month Pediatrician Appt

Today Delaney had her one month pediatrician appointment. She weighed 9 lbs 2 ozs (she's gained 2 lbs 2 ozs) and is in the 50 percentile. She was 20.5 inches long, which didn't change from her original 20" which only put her in the 10 percentile for height. Everything else was GREAT, until it came time for her second Hepatitis B shot. OK, so I never truly understood the motherly stories I would hear from friends that would take their little one to the doctor to get a shot and BOTH baby and mom would leave in tears.......that was until today. OMG, sweet little innocent Delaney-bug was laying on the table looking up at me with her big beautiful eyes when the nurse injected the shot into her chubby thigh. Delaney's eyes BUGGED-OUT and she started SCREAMING. I'm not sure if Bill or I were more effected by this reaction than Delaney. Nonetheless, as I tried to soothe her my eyes couldn't help welling up. Poor little 'peanut'!

First Nap in Crib

Tomorrow Delaney will we 4 weeks old and today was the first time she slept in her crib in her room. (Since with the C-section I haven't been supposed to go upstairs and our bedroom is downstairs where she sleeps in her Pack N' Play.) Anyway, while she napped I stayed glued to the high-tech monitor making sure she didn't stir and got caught up on the dishes and laundry, because I just haven't been able to adopt the 'sleep when the baby sleeps' rule. Additionally, there is a bear in her crib only for the photo, since her brother Tyler mailed her a Build-A-Bear that he made for her and I wanted him to see her with it...cute! (I can't wait for the boys to meet their little sister.)
