Laila's First Date!

Laila on her first date with Conor. (2/16/10)

Little Ms. Laila Jean. (2/16/10)

Today my friend Tracy came over with her newborn baby Conor. Conor was born on 12/31/09. We chatted about the babies, half heartily watched Ellen, and fed the babies when they got fussy. So, Laila officially had her first date! There was talking, tv, and eating, not a bad date for the first one out of the gate!

After Laila's playdate she had another well baby check up appointment with the doctor. She weighed in at 7 lbs 6 ounces! The doctor was quite impressed with her weight gain. I also had a chance to ask about a couple of things that were bugging me, her dry skin, and a twitching motion that she does in her sleep. The doctor assured me that the skin and twitching were perfectly normal. The skin will resolve itself in its own time, and the twitching is just a reflex. Definitely eased my mind! After the doctor, we went over to the lab at the hospital to have the PKU shot. She was sound asleep when we got there. The lab techs applied heat to her heal, and then pricked her. I was ready for a melt down, but she just squirmed, cried a tiny bit, then went back to sleep! The techs thought it was pretty funny, and said it was the first time they had seen a baby do that!
