This picture is actually from yesterday, but it was so cute, I wanted to use it anyway. She had her second newborn screening yesterday with our midwife. That's the heal stick test. She hated it even more this time than she did the first time. It was heart breaking listening to her cry. She was pretty worn out when we got home.
It's been an interesting week. Tuesday was kind of terrible. She didn't let me sleep more than about 30 minutes or so at a time all night and into the morning. We stayed in bed until about 3pm on Tuesday, but I still didn't really get any sleep. She was fussy and just wanting to eat every hour or so. Maybe it was a growth spurt, maybe she had a tummy ache... Who knows? But it's been a lot better since then. She's been sleeping much better at night. She still gets a little fussy early in the morning though. I'm not sure why.
Yesterday I was changing her diaper in our bed. I was just about to switch out the dirty one for the clean one when she started sneezing. Every time she sneezed she projectile pooped. I was sitting Indian style right in front of her so all the poop landed on my legs. I was so shocked, all I could do was laugh. By the time I thought to cover her little butt with a wipe, she was already done. She managed to get none of it on her, all of it on me. That's talent!
It's hard to notice the little subtle changes in her since I see her all day every day. She's making more eye contact now. She also likes to try a variety of facial expressions. I don't think it's real, but she does smile more often, like she practicing. She's pretty good at holding her head up. She can turn it from side to side pretty easily when she's on her stomach. Even sitting up, she can hold her head up on her own for a few seconds at a time. Obviously she's bigger, but the only difference I notice is that her clothes fit better.
She's so sweet and so cute. I love watching her sleep when she's got a full tummy, like in the picture above.
