Before the fun began. Well last night was the first time that we really heard Shelby cry. She has not been a fussy baby at all. She loves to sleep and eat but last night she had a tummy ache. She screamed and cried and there was not a lot we could do about it. We could hear her little tummy rumbling and about 12:30 this morning she calmed down and went to sleep. Grandma Johnson stayed up and held here. Everytime we would try and put her down she would start to cry.
This morning the fun continued. Shelby had her 2 week visit at the Doctor's office. She had to be stuck in the heal and have a little blood drawn for the usual testing. We found out that Shelby is a good clotter. Usually this would be a good thing but not for having blood drawn. She ended up getting stuck 5 times before they got enough blood. Luckily, dad went with us and held Shelby while they took her blood. As you can imagine she screamed and cried and both daddy and Shelby were completely sweated by the time it was over with. The good news was that Shelby is gaining weight. She weighs 9 lbs. 8 ozs., which keeps her at the 75th percentile. She still measured 22 inches and therefore she is still in the 90th percentile for height. The doctor did say that she is doing so well with her weight gain that she can sleep as long as she wants at night. Mom really appreciates that!!!
We came home from the doctor and Grandma Johnson changed Shelby's diaper. When Grandma opened up her outfit her umbilical cord fell out. Shelby now has a belly button and daddy is excited that he finally gets to kiss it!
