Quick Zora update
- her eyebrows and eyelashes are growing in, but her hair is falling out in spots
- her poop frequency went from 1-2 a day until last Wednesday, to a 4 day stretch, and now on day 2 of no poops. She isn’t constipated and it is normal poop, but boy oh boy is it a lot when she does grace us with a poopy diaper. lol.
- if you put her on her stomach, she has the neck strength to lift her head and face the other direction, but still pretty bobble-head like.
- if she can get some leverage, she can flip herself over, although she seems pretty surprised by it.
- she is smiling, but still mostly in her sleep or in that ‘twilight’ stage.
- she goes from content to completely ticked off in an instant. Oh, boy does she have a temper!
- she is having problems with handling my let-down during that first nursing session in the morning. I have learned to keep a diaper on her like a bib so that when she unlatches she doesn’t get soaked. So weird for me…Zane never had a problem with that.
- she does not like being still. Must always be touching somebody and in motion to some degree to be happy. It is a good thing I am a natural wiggler because it would be stressful for somebody who actually sits still. She will not sleep at all unless she is in somebody’s arms. Even in bed I have to wiggle my leg or rock to have a chance of keeping her asleep.
I read your blog but usually do not comment. But I wanted to say Zora is so cute and I am glad nursing is going good. Congratulations
I spent the first 6 months of Zep’s life propped up, with my arm under his little body, so I could gently bounce, bounce, bounce him to sleep…every single night. Drove me crazy at the time, but I miss it so much now. He was just like Zora, always needing to move.
We have been sick for a long time here, that is why I haven’t called. I think we will be better by the weekend and I will come over soon.
