Better, much

This week has ended much better than it began. I swear, I'm still trying to understand what the hell happened last weekend. Whatever, as long as that doesn't happen again, I think we'll all be happy.

Sleep has returned to me, and I've slept well the last few nights - well, when Mr. P takes his shift and I get to sleep uninterrupted for 4-ish hours. The critter is still figuring out her sleep, and I'm trying to figure her out too. She often wakes herself up, and then begins to fuss, with intermittent crying. Often this is at about 2.5 hours since her last feed, and I wonder, is she hungry? I need to let her fuss a bit, because when I do she generally falls back asleep, and can go closer to 4 hours between feeds. But it is hard to let her fuss/cry, especially in the middle of the night. It's a work in progress for both of us.

We had her 1 month pediatrician appointment on Wednesday, and she continues to do well. She is at the 75%ile for weight, height and head circumference - so big and well proportioned. We have to get a hip ultrasound done at 6 weeks, which I guess is standard for all breech babies. I think they are looking to see that her hip joints are developing normally, given they might have been in a weird position in utero. The doc is not concerned about the Critter's hips, they seem fine, but we'll stick to protocol and be safe.

So we are doing much better, and I hope this continues for good this time. I'm feeling more ready to leave the house, what without the craziness, the c-section pain, and having more energy. And the weather here is supposed to thaw next week, so it will be safe to take the critter out and about. Very exciting!

Have a good weekend, I hope I do!!
