Evelyn's First Doctor Appointment

Sorry we've been so behind on blogging, we've been getting a bit of flack for it, so hopefully we can be better. So much has been going on, but no time to write about it.

We took Evelyn to 2 week appointment on Friday 4/16. She is doing so wonderful. She has definitely put on weight, so we don't have to be too concerned that she's been sleeping too long at night. She's actually gone close to sleeping for 7 hours straight overnight, mostly she sleeps for around 5 hours. This was in the first two weeks. Things have changed since.... I started this blog a while ago.

Here are her 2 week stats:
Height: 21 inches (90th percentile)
Weight: 7 lbs 12.5 oz (30th percentile)
Head: 13 3/4 inches (45th percentile)

Since the first 2 week honeymoon period, Evelyn has been quite a bit more fussy. We ended up taking her to the doctor because she just seemed so uncomfortable. She stopped having as many dirty diapers and we can totally hear everything in her digestive tract. The doctor thought that it could be gas or acid reflux and gave us a few things to try. I was kind of hopeful that they were weren't, but really in the last few days she has probably been just as fussy. She goes through a completely fussy period between 8 and 11:30 at night where nothing - even eating - seems to calm her. I am still very hopeful that this will pass soon. We did find out that when we took her to the doctor on Tues 4/27 that she weighs 9lbs 2.5oz. I was pretty shocked that she put on so much weight. On a more positive note, last night after her late evening fussfest she slept from 11:30 to 7:30, it was crazy.
