Week 2
We have noticed a few changes in Nina in her second week of life. She is gaining a little weight - her belly is a little wider and she has developed a bit of a double chin. Her eyes are trying hard to focus on things, and sometimes she goes a little cross-eyed in the process. Her umbilical cord stump fell off Monday night (11 days), but the belly button itself is not yet healed. She is awake a little more. Unfortunately that also means more crying and fussing. When she has been awake for awhile, she can't put herself to sleep and likes to be held vertically and carried around the house. And yes, she knows if you try to sit down and just rock her - you must walk!
Last night was our first real sleep (or lack thereof) adventure. After her midnight feeding, she was fussy and crying off and on for the rest of the night. We took turns walking around with her then we would put her down. She would sleep for a few minutes then wake up crying. There was just no comforting her! Of course she tried to make up for it by being extra cute and adorable this morning.

She is such a little sweetheart. Can't wait to meet her.
oh yes! the sleepless nights. i spent the first 2.5 months of lucia's life sleeping on the couch. she would sleep only if i sat up. pick up a copy of "the happiest baby on the block". some of the techniques in there worked well in there and it's an interesting read. you can call me too any time day or night. love you both and nina too!
