Emergency Essentials/BePrepared

Sunday, February 24, 2013

We were just loving having miss Gabby around at our house! At her 2 week appointment, The Dr was concerned because she had only gained 2 oz in a week and a half so he had me come back the next week for a weight check. She rallied right back from only gaining 2 oz and had gained 9 oz! My sweet little chunk is growing so fast! She is now 8 lbs 10 oz and I'm sure she's more than that now, because she's been eating a lot more the last few days.
We have a few nicknames for her as well : Gabby, Gabbers, Gabs, princess, sweetheart, pretty girl, girly. My favorite is how Spencer says her full name, Gabriella. He can't quite say it so he says Gabby Ella.

We are loving our little cutie-who knew having a girl was so much fun! I painted her toenails this week which was fun and they are way cute. I was almost giddy with excitement over it. Spencer is enjoying her- when she does tummy time he insists on getting his blanket and doing it with her every day. He also has to make sure she wears a bow. If I take it off for any reason, he says "he needs a bow!"and gives it to me to put on (we are working on the he/she his/her thing).

On a side note, having my baby at Ogden regional Family Birth Place made me realize how much I missed the place. I did my preceptorship there 2 years ago. Here is to hoping I can get a job there someday!

Ha! You painted her toenails! That is so funny. Well, perhaps if you start young enough, she'll learn to sit still from the beginning. :) I love it.

She is a doll. Sounds like she has an adoring big brother, too. I can't believe I haven't met her yet, but all in good time, right? Take care.
