This week was super busy! Here is what we had going on...
I had to take Tenley to the pediatrician to get her second PKU test... all by myself.
(ME = TERRIFIED)
The morning was off to a good start...
Teddy took a nap and smiled in her sleep:
She was even peaceful in her car seat:
Then, when we arrived at the pediatrician's office I knocked over this cork board that was hanging on the wall with my diaper bag, but I was not going to let that defeat me. Baby girl remained cool, calm and collected in the waiting room. We were called back and the adventure began... I undressed Teddy so they could weigh her and noticed she had a wet diapy so I changed her real quick - no big. Then they weighed and measured her in her fresh diapy. Then, while waiting for Dr. Vu she got hungry. While feeding her (in nothing but her fresh diaper) she decided to blow out her diaper all over my side - AWESOME. So I changed her, again. After the doc checked her out I dressed her and we waited to have her little heel pricked for the PKU test:
All hell broke loose when they pricked her heel.
Baby girl screamed bloody murder cried as I kissed her cheeks.
She finally calmed down and got this bad ass band-aid:
Despite all the diapy changes and tears the trip went okay and here are some of the updates from the pediatrician: Tenley now weighs 10 pounds 7.9 ounces and is 22 inches long. Baby girl is in the 95th percentile for her weight and height; which means she weighs more than 95% of newborns her age and is 95% taller than newborns her age. Her belly button is completely healed and looks like a cinnamon swirl, just like mommies. The only bad news is that she has to continue taking Zantac until she's 6 months old since her stomach will be more mature then. Dr. Vu said that some babies need to be on it longer, but since she is already doing better we're keeping our fingers crossed that she'll be done taking it at 6 months.
After her visit with the pediatrician, baby girl was happy when daddy got home from work:
Since her belly button healed, she got her first "real" bath that night:
(Love that lil' butt!!)
And that was only Monday...
The rest of the week was easy breezy compared to Monday at the pediatrician.
Teddy started to cuddle with me after every feeding and it's now my fav thing to do:
She shows her love for daddy throughout the day by texting him pics like this:
She dresses like a teddy bear:
She still loves tummy time and mirrors:
She got her very first bottle from daddy:
On Friday we went to Lowe's to buy Teddy her first Christmas tree and we obviously had to buy her the most expensive biggest and fattest 7.5 foot tree:
(She already has daddy wrapped around her tiny fingers!)
She hung out in her Ergo carrier while I fluffed her big tree:
Then goofed off with daddy:
Baby loved the tree and kept staring at the lights!
(When she wasn't sleeping...)
On Saturday we went to the Espejo's to help them decorate for Christmas. Teddy was pooped and passed out on their couch - what a help she was!
(So stylish in her jeggings!)
To keep up with the Christmas cheer, I dressed Teddy up in Christmas gear to start decorating our house:
Baby girl sat in her Bumbo while mommy decorated:
Spoiled girl even got her very own mini tree:
And I got bit by the crafting bug and made this wreath:
Christmas is going to be a blast this year. Next week we'll be decorating the BIG tree!
TOMORROW IS THANKSGIVING!!
Hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving!
I know what I'm thankful for this year...
