Tuesday October 9th

Today was Zoe's 2 week appointment with the pediatrican. It went great!! Her doctor was very happy with her growth and the progress she's made in fighting the jaundice. She weighed 7 pounds even today and measured 20 1/2 inches long! The doctor gave us some advice about feeding. In the first few days, Zoe wasn't eating enough. Now, she's eating too much! The impulse that tells her when she's full isn't developed yet so she over eats which causes her to spit up and have hiccups. So, we've got new tips on how to tell when she's full. We also got the okay to give her a pacifer. As you know, she loves to have her hand in her mouth so she's a sucker! She did pretty good last night once we got her to go to sleep. Daddy took her so I could sleep early and she kept him on his toes. He changed 2 dirty diapers and let him know how upset she was. It took another feeding and rocking by Mom to calm her down. Once she got to sleep though, she slept over 3 hours!
