one plus one= 2 MONTHS

HEY EVERYONE! My baby is already 2 months old. Where has time gone. I know I am late on posting this update but better late than never. :)

 

2 month status:

Height 23.8 in (96 percentile)

11.1 lbs (65 percentile)

41.1 cm (96 percentile)

So this month has definitely been an interesting one. On her 2 month dr appt. the doctor had decided that he was really concerned about how big her head was. (96 percentile is way big). I think that dr visit was the longest visit I have ever been to. It was a total of an hour and a half! He was being so thurough examining her and making sure her head was ok. He kept telling me that he was guessing that it was hereditary since jons head is huge (he did some research on head sizes while we were there and he found out that jons head is 3 standard deviations away from the mean for mens heads. I have the exact average for womans head sizes.) but yeah jon has a huge head! But the Dr. wanted some proof that nothing was really wrong with her brain so he sent me into TMC the next day to get an ultrasound done on her head. (by the way I think it is so cool how you can do an ultrasound through the fontanel on babies heads).

 

The ultrasound tec. told me that the dr. would have results to me by monday ( I went in on friday) but they would let me know that night if there was something wrong with her head. So I went home, hoping I would not be getting a phone call that night. Well I did... pure panic went through my system and I was so scared to hear what the dr had to say. Just the thought of something being wrong with my babies brain was so devistating and I felt horrible for her. BUT that panic was only short lived. The dr got the results sooner than the ultrasound tec. told me and he was just calling to tell me that my baby just had a big head like her daddy. the tears in my eyes immediately dried up and I was so relieved to hear that news.

 

At that dr. appt we also found out that jocelyn might be lactose intolerant. my poor baby. She has been in a lot of pain when she has to pass gas and rarely has a bowel movement so I was getting so worried. So the dr told me to go on a dairy free diet. Let me tell you this diet has not been the easiest. I miss my cheese, milk, yogurt, chocolate etc. I know they have dairy free chocolate, and milk and all that but it definitely is not the same thing as the real stuff. I will do anything though to keep my baby from being in pain. I just can not wait till I can stop nursing her so that I can eat all the dairy again that I want.

 

Other than that this past month has been great. She is growing so fast and her personality is showing through so much. It is so great to see her smile all the time and see that I ammuse her as I sit and talk with her through the day. Enjoy the pictures. :)

 She is able to sit in her bumbo now. She has a stong neck.

One month old pictures

One Month Status:

Height: 21.6 inches ( 82 percentile)

weight: 8.1 lbs (30 percentile)

Head circumference: 37.3 cm (69 percentile)

 

All in all I think we have a pretty happy and healthy baby thus far. Here are some pictures. She has been the easiest baby. She sleeps so well and sometimes I have had to wake her up to eat instead of the other way around at night. People say I should have just let her sleep through the night but I did not want her to be loosing any weight since she is only in the 30 percentile for weight.

 

I look at her every day and can not believe how blessed I am to have such a beautiful daughter. It is still weird for me to think of myself as a mom and when I tell people this is my daughter it still sounds weird. Maybe one day I will get used to the sound of being a mom. I have loved every minute of being a mom. She definitely looks a lot more like me when I was a baby than Jon but unfortunately I do not think she will have my red hair. :(
