I have never felt so anxious going to church before. I was worried that our usually quiet, sleepy baby would choose her first experience in Mass to be fussy enough for one of us to have to take her out. (We both get pretty annoyed with people who keep their fussy children in church rather than taking them out to the foyer to calm them down. Since before I was pregnant we vowed we would not be one of those parents and would make sure our child was not disruptive during Mass.) So at the first little peep she made, accompanied by the face that says "my diaper is wet and I'm going to be fussy until you change it" I took her out, changed her, fed her in the foyer during the homily and returned to Mass with a peacefully sleeping baby. Not so bad for the first time :) I'm getting more confident about taking her places - changing and feeding her someplace other than our house.
We went to the pediatrician today for Isabelle's two week checkup. She's still doing as perfectly as when she was born! Now weighs 8 lbs 5 oz!! I'm pretty sure a few ounces of that was just from yesterday and her constant feeding!!
She's also spent more time sleeping in the cradle! I love holding her and love cuddling with her when she sleeps but it is nice to know that I don't have to hold her constantly for her to sleep. I don't really feel guilty spending however long she sleeps just holding her because I love looking at her and feeling her snuggle against me but it is nice to have a break and be able to take a nap without her on top on me. We're going to attempt getting her to sleep in there tonight - Fingers crossed!!
I love this picture of her - tummy time on the boppy with her big cloth diaper bottom! So cute!!
