Week 9

Ellie and I had a productive, but unproductive week to say the least. On Monday, I woke up and was determined to work with Ellie on sleeping in her crib during her nap time even if it meant that we didn't leave the house. And we pretty much did not leave the house that week, nor I really hate admitting this, but there was a good 48 hours when I didn't get a chance to shower....so if that gives you any indication on how this whole nap time in the crib went...Basically Ellie was pretty much waking up every 10-15 minutes from her nap when I would put her down. I think one day we actually went 30 whole minutes without waking up. So that week, I did not get much done. I finally came to the conclusion that we will get there and she is pretty much sleeping in her crib at night so baby steps, I guess and the doctor didn't seem to concerned. She said at this point, my sleep and sanity are more important than Ellie napping in her crib.

I think alot of it has to do with Ellie waking herself up from her startling herself with her arms. Luckily, the doctor said she should get better about that at 3 months and I have already started to see an improvement.

This is something new, I was changing Ellie one early morning and was holding her legs up and pee squirted out all over me. It was like projectile. Never knew that could happen...learn something new everyday, I guess.

Sweet Ellie loves her bath so much that the other night she actually fell alseep in the tub for a few minutes. I think we all thought this night was going to be a piece of cake and Ellie was going to sleep like a rock...not so much. She was up basically every 2 hours....

Finally, Ellie had her two month appointment which also meant, she got her shots. I don't know who cried more, Ellie, Gigi or myself. It was the most pitiful thing i saw when she cried. The nurse ended up giving me a hug too b/c I was so upset. The next 24 hours we just cuddled with Ellie which is basically all she wanted to do and sleep.

Her new stats:
 Weight: 10lbs 2oz.
Height: 22 1/4

Poor thing after her shots...

Little bandaid on her right leg from her shots
