2.5w update
Hi folks,
Things are going well with DS2, though it will be interesting to see how we settle in next week when MIL & FIL are gone (so far, we had DH on vacation+my mom, then DH on vacation, then DH at work but MIL around). He weighed 11lbs 2oz at his 2 week check up (actually 11lbs 8oz, but wearing 6oz of cast for his clubfoot) and 11lbs 9oz at 2w2d (yesterday, when we went to get his cast changed). He yelled through the whole cast change yesterday because he had been napping when we started --- I think he'd hoped to wake up and eat, not wake up and be casted, but he calmed down after that. Last night was relatively difficult, maybe because of the new cast, but possibly the 2w growth spurt. I've discovered another benefit of our co-sleeper: I suspect DS2 is getting more practice at falling asleep by himself than DS1, since I'm more likely to put him down before I'm certain he's asleep. This is because it's easier to pick him up again if need be than if he were in a separate crib. He's pretty noisy in the night, but I think I'm getting the hang of distinguishing hunger noises from the others. He's also more spitty than DS1 was (which isn't hard --- DS1 hardly spit up at all), and one of his night noises seems to be "burp me!". Last night around bedtime, DS2 gave me lots of smiles. Surely not social smiles yet, but it was very cute. Almost seemed like he was trying out the "smile feature" on his face... Meanwhile, DS1 is doing pretty well. He's enjoying all the extra attention from grandparents, and also is finally willing to go play by himself a bit again. For the first couple of weeks, it seemed that he was afraid if he dropped our attention for a moment he wouldn't get it back. -- Emily DS1 5/02 DS2 9/05 |

I'm glad everything is going well. He sure has grown! It must feel really good to have him home with you, cast or no. -- Amy Mum to Carlos born sleeping 20/11/02, & Ana born screaming 30/06/04 http://www.freewebs.com/carlos2002/ http://www.babiesonline.com/babies/a/ana%5Fj%5F2004/ My blog: http://spaces.msn.com/members/querer-hijo-querer-hija/ |

that's fab, sounds like Raphael and Ada are quite similar, she was really
noisy as well, and she wouldn't nurse to sleep, I was really craving a cosleeper as though we had the moses basket next to the bed, it was lower, so she couldn't see me and then she would get cross, so she used to go to sleep in the middle of the bed and then get moved. Are you happy with the club foot treatment? Did you get the type that Joybelle was mentioning a while back? Anne |

We keep it pretty dark, so so far he can't see us anyway. Sometimes I scootch down the bed and put a hand on him, which probably helps. Anyway, I'm loving the co-sleeper (though it's a bit annoying to have to go around it to get out of bed)... Are you happy with the club foot treatment? Did you get the type that Joybelle was mentioning a while back? Yes --- Joybelle directed me to the relevant Yahoo! groups, and through that I knew what to look for. I was also reassured that the orthopedic surgeon we're seeing (local expert) is certified in the method and approved by Dr. Ponseti. There was already a visible difference after his first cast! I think the real issue though is the correction holding long term. -- Emily DS1 5/02 DS2 9/05 |
