2 Month Stats

Well Gracie had her 2 month appointment today. All seems to be going very well.

Weight: 10.5 lbs (50th percent)
Length: 22 inches (50th percent)
Head: 15 inches (25th percent)

She did pretty well with her shots, cried really hard when got them but once they were done she was calmed easily. She has however, never held onto me so tight as she did after I picked her up. Thank goodness for Tylenol!

Thank Goodness No Ear Infection

So I took Grace to the Dr. today because I thought maybe she had an ear infection since she really didn't want to lay down to sleep and would do her best sleeping in her bouncy seat. Well there is no ear infection but Grace is getting a cold so we have to watch it.

So many of you have asked me what Grace weighs now and I always guessed 8-9 pounds well I was wrong today she was 10 pounds even.

I think I may have solved the problem to her only wanting to sleep in her bouncy seat though. I went to a Baby and me class today and one of the moms was talking about this thing that vibrates the crib mattress and plays music if you want it to. So I went out and bought it, we will see if it works.

Blogging at Last

So I've had the information on how to get a blog started since I was only 5-6 weeks pregnant and here it is 8 weeks after Grace was born and I am now just getting to it. But lets be honest the stuff I post now about Grace is a lot more fun than hearing how my pregnancy went. (Which for the record was not so great.)

So here is the quick update on Grace:

Grace Eleanor Vrieze was born November 7, 2006 at 9:10pm. (She came into the world about 4 weeks early due to mom developing some complications.) She was 5lbs 10oz and 19 in long. It was amazing how small she was.

Even though Grace is considered a preemie she is doing well. She is getting bigger all the time. She has outgrown all her preemie clothes and is in all newborn clothing. I can't wait until her 2 month check up to see how much she weighs now. I am guessing 8-9 lbs. She is starting to get such a personality and its a good one. She loves to be talked to and play with the play gym she got for Christmas. Its been fun to see all the changes that have come over the past 8 weeks.

I think that is all for now. I am including a few pictures from birth to now so you can see how she has grown and be brought up to date. Then hopefully I will be able to keep this blog up and all of you in the loop with Grace.

Picture one is 2 days old, picture 2 is 5 days old and picture 3 is 6 weeks old.
