Having a winter baby was great. It was fun to cuddle and stay inside and cozy, have visitors, and soak up the newborn goodness. We've been calling the doctor with Bristol's weight every week. She's been a slow gainer. By 2 months she was a 9lbs 4oz. It's been a little discouraging just because it seems like nursing has gone so well. She does spit up quite a bit, but she is doing everything else she's supposed to be doing, so the doctor wasn't too concerned. She just wants us to keep calling. I really appreciated that she didn't want us to come into the clinic! The big kids and I weigh her almost every morning and cheer for her when she gains =)
We are getting a lot more interaction now. Lots of cute smiles. When Ryan comes home from work and she smiles at him, it just melts my heart. She kicks like crazy and is is starting to coo back at you when you’re talking to her, too. She slept 9 hours on her 8 week birthday and has done that a few times since. Not super consistent yet, but we’ll take it!
