Jadyn's Second Week

Jadyn's second pediatrician appointment was today. She has gained a whole pound in the last 8 days, and more than an inch in length since birth. !!! The doctor thought she might be in a growth spurt, trying to make up for her smaller size at birth. We are thrilled to know that she has been feeding enough to grow so much in such a short time. Jadyn has also been cleared for some supervised 'tummy time,' and next week we can try pumping some breast milk and introducing her to a bottle for a few minutes a couple of times a week. Progress!

For the most part, Jadyn is a pretty consistent baby. Her parents are pleased that she is a good eater and a good sleeper. She isn't such a great burper, however, which leads to some periods of fussiness. But for the most part, Jadyn has been very easy-going. (We're waiting for a really bad day, as we know such a thing is bound to happen, but so far she's been very good.) Jenny is feeling much better this week and even made it out to the bank and grocery store with Jadyn today. Hopefully it won't be long and, weather permitting, the two ladies of the house will be out for walks in the neighborhood.

Over the weekend the excitement was Aunt Julie's visit, a quick trip to the Burgermaster to meet Uncle Harvey and Clarke, and Jeff's birthday. See pictures of these lovely people with Jadyn and a few other fun photos below.
