1 week check-up

So we have survived an entire week: three days in the hospital, and five at home; surprisingly, getting enough sleep to survive. For the first few days, Bella has been sleeping three hours at a shot, but now goes four hours sometimes, but two hours on other occasions. Let's just hope that she keeps the four hour cycles during the night. Diaper changes on the other hand, can be anywhere between four hours on a good stretch and five minutes when you are trying to get things done around the house, like cook dinner. After this week of practice with me at home, it remains to be seen how Laura goes it alone come Monday when I get back to work.
Bella had her first checkup with her Pediatrician Dr. Kinalska. All is in working order and she is progressing on schedule. In fact, she has grown a whole 5/8 inches in those eight days. The visit was fairly pain-free, except for the first of her series of vaccinations. I can say safely, that it looks like Bella has inherited her Mom's dislike of needles.
