2-Week Check-up

Stella had her checkup yesterday. She now weighs 8 pounds 11 ounces. This little one has gained about 1.5 pounds in just 2 weeks! She is also 21.25 inches long (a 1.25 inch gain from her birth length). The doctor says she looks great. There is no trace of jaundice anymore and she cleared us to use baby Mylicon (for gas) for when Stella gets fussy after feeding. We've used 2 doses in the last 16 hours and so far it has been great.

Stella has been sleeping more regularly. For the past 3 nights she has slept for no less than 90 minutes at a time, and in most cases, in 2 hour increments before waking up to nurse. This is more regular that she has ever been thus far. We are excited too, as it makes things more predictable and provides us more sleep.

That's the news for now!
