fat baby

we got back from the doctor, and blogger is now cooperating...

alex is 8 lbs 3 oz and 20.5". she has gained 2.25 lbs since we took her home from the hospital! the doctor said she was a good baby, and obviously a good eater!

he said her getting up 2 - 3 hours is normal, even though he knows it sucks, but that we will be more scheduled in another month or two, so to hang in there.

Yay! Can't wait to see pics of a chubbier Alex! (nothing cuter than chubby babies!)

He sounds like a compassionate doctor. Ask him to take over one night every week.

You are obviously doing a great mommy job. There is so much satisfaction in seeing them grow. Of course, these days, nothing makes me feel better than a succesful suction of snot using the nasal aspirator. Must be a mommy thing.

Your doctor agrees with all the blogmoms. He must be a smart doctor!

But now I am nauseated by the memory of the snot sucker. A handy-dandy little device but not my favorite memory.

Smooches for the fat little baby.

I did *not* need to know about the snot sucker.

Snot sucker? And here I just used Qtips. Very carefully, of course.

Great news! About her weight and it getting better.

I found that I could handle the waking up every couple of hours so long as they went back to sleep after the feeding. It was the refusal to go back that is the pain.

Hi cq! I see your baby is on the coconut plan. I bet Philippe & her would look adorable next to eachother!

Ugh. The snot sucker is in constant use around here right now. So.Gross.

Alex is super cute. I hope you're doing okay.
