Rose's 3rd Week of Life

Rose is getting more into a semi-routine... We've had a pretty good week.
Blake went back to work on Monday, so we are having to re-adjust. He is also going out of town for work from Saturday - Tuesday, so I'm sad that he'll miss his first father's day. I'm going to stay with my parents so that I can have some help over the weekend (they are super excited).

I had to take Rose to the pediatrician yesterday because she had some gunk in her eye and had been fussy for over 12 hours. She was eating every 1.5 hours and her stool color changed. The pediatrician gave us some antibotic eye drops (she has an obstructed tear duct, which is normal in newborns). She said that this tear duct was causing her to be a little congested, which will clear up soon. The doctor wants me to watch my diet to see if she has an food allergies or is sensitive to things. In the meantime, we will have to soothe her with gas drops as best we can :( Other than the past night, she has been a happy baby.

She is starting to smile and is holding her head up more and more everyday. She is also wiggling more and is trying to roll over. I guess my days of lying her on the couch are over!


When she sleeps she does this creepy eye thing (which I happened to catch). At first, it really disturbed me but I read online that it's normal for babies to sleep like this - indicates they are in a deep sleep and are dreaming....




Here are some pictures of our princess this week. She is 9 lbs, 3.8 oz.

I laughed out loud about the "creepy eye thing." You're such a funny Mom! Becky Carie brought little Zack by to see us yesterday. Time for you and Rose to take a road trip! Miss you!
