Growing and Pooping
misty · Wed, Oct 7, 2015Chase went to a movie tonight. We both read The Martian, and Goodreads bought tickets for all employees who were interested in seeing the film. In the past, I’ve gone with them to these events, but it wasn’t possible this time. I was incredibly jealous of him getting to see the movie while I’m still unable to go. Soon, hopefully, I’ll feel up to leaving her with a sitter so that Chase and I can go out. So far, though, I don’t want to be away from her. I get a lot of anxiety when she’s not in my line of vision - so when I make dinner while Chase watches her some evenings, I have to pop in every so often to make me feel better. This will pass, right? I’ll eventually get to go places again?
Milo is quickly nearing the 2-month mark, and I think it must be mentioned that she’s nearly too big for her 3-month clothes. Some of her 3-month onesies are kind of snug, though others still have some room for her to grow. I love having a chubby girl, though.
Speaking of chubbiness, sometimes her belly looks HUGE because of lack of poop. It doesn’t happen often, but every so often, she’ll go a day or so without having a really good poop. She still maintains her little-bit-of-poop-in-every-diaper routine, but the big poops are missing. So today she FINALLY had a few good poops, and her big belly finally looks a bit smaller. Hopefully that means she’ll sleep better tonight. (I’ve read that breastfed babies can sometimes go a full week without pooping! Hopefully Milo does not get that bad.)
Notes:
- My favorite time of day is morning when Milo is smiley and fun. She lays in bed with us and smiles, looks around, coos, and kicks a lot.
- I put big bubble wrap under Milo’s feet today, and she LOVED it! She kicked and kicked and stayed occupied for a while.
- Milo is becoming a professional head-holder-upper!
