One Month Appointments

I had my 4 wk post pregnancy appointment yesterday and I am down 3 pounds from my first pregnancy appointment. a good start if I don't say so myself. On Monday, I am going to go to Weight Watchers and sign up too keep the pattern of losing. So I just might start a weekly weigh in post to let you know how I am doing. By no means will I "reveal" my real weight until the end. Trust me I am fat that is all you need to know. =)

Also on Oct 3, Caelyn had her one month appointment. By one week she was up to her birth weight (6 lbs 12 oz) and well on Oct 3 she was 8 lbs 13 oz. So she gained her 1 oz a day perfectly. She has grown an inch to be 21" long ( she was 20" when born). She is making eye contact and soon should start tracking. She is starting to turn her head when her name is said and she is showing a great temperament towards Chloe. Sometimes her big sister picks on her but not on purpose. Caelyn is just like Chloe on the aspect that she will scoot in her bed at night, she is a mover. I have found her numerous times up against the edge of the crib after I had placed her right in the middle. Caelyn also has been caught sucking her thumb so we have been really pushing a pacifier. She is slowly getting the hang of it, but she is picky, she will only take it will sitting up or being held.

Chloe is adjusting, slowly. We have been having issues of her waking up crying (sometimes screaming) at night. Dave and I started a horrible thing once Caelyn was home of letting her sleep in bed with us (partly for my sanity of getting sleep.) So this weekend we have implemented that she can sleep in our room but on the floor her bed. I put down my old twin comforter and her pillow. Chloe is not all to have her blanket or bear on our bed anymore and she can't be on the bed when Dave and I are both laying in it. Thursday she stared on our floor and we moved her to her bed. She did wake up twice but she put herself back to sleep right away. Last night because Dave and I were so exhausted, we just left her on the floor. She slept there from 10 till 8. It was very nice to get a good stretch of uninterrupted sleep because Caelyn actually slept through the night as well!!!
