18 days old

Coranelle bundled for her daily, morning walk in the stroller.
Going for a walk with momma and Coranelle in Broomfield!


Coranelle is doing well. Just wanted to post a new update about how things are going. Coranelle and I went to the pediatrician on Friday. Our appointment was supposed to be on Wednesday. I was looking forward to it all week to see if she has been gaining weight as she should and just get her all checked out. But, I had it in my head that we had an appointment at 1:15. I had my day all planned out so that she would be fed and ready to go on time. But, at 11:30, I got a call from the pediatrician office saying we had missed our appointment. It was at 11:15, not 1:15. I was so upset. I think the combination of being up with her from 3am-6am and all of these crazy hormones made me lose it and I was just sobbing. I DONT miss doctors appointments and I felt so bad! Of course, me being upset did not help her crankiness and the two of us just cried together for a good while. I don't know why I am so emotional! But, we made it on Friday. She now weighs 7 pounds 1 once. By 2 weeks, babies are supposed to gain their birth weight back (6 pounds 6 onces). But, she has well exceeded that. So, it gives me confidence that she is eating well enough and I am doing okay breast feeding. She checked out and everything is healthy and going well. I really like my pediatrician! He is great. She also had to get her Hep B shot. It was not fun to watch them stab my little girl with a needle and see her face turn purple in pain and horror. Poor girl! But, she recovered okay. Heido came over yesterday after her appointment so that I could get in a nap. That was great! And my mom was here Thursday to walk with us, get coffee and do some grocery shopping. We had a great time. On Tuesday, I met with the girls I did prenatal yoga with and truly enjoyed meeting their little ones and comparing birth stories and sharing how it is to be new moms. I am very thankful for them in my life and having moms to relate to and share with.
Coranelle has gotten much more fussy as time goes on. She seems to fuss in the late afternoon( right when Ryan gets home from work). There isn't too much to do to rememdy her crying- except take her on little walks. But, we are learning different ways to sooth her and we are getting used to hearing her little cry. It is a bit like a guessing game- trying to figure out why she might be upset or fussy. We love her tons and are learning so much each day. It has been wonderful to have grandparents around to help out and hold her and love her!
Tomorrow, we have my grandpa's wake and my dad, Christina and Kyle are in town. Coranelle will get to meet the other grandparents and her uncle Kyle. That sounds crazy, but it will be fun!
Hope you are all doing well! Thanks for reading!
