Check Up

Yesterday Norah had a doctor's appointment.
After her last check up the doctor showed concern over
the lac of weight Norah had gained.
At 2.5 weeks she weighed 6.5lbs (She was 6.7 at birth)
In comparison Ava was 7.4lbs at birth and at 2 weeks
she weighed 7.14. They should be gaining about an
ounce a day at this age.
So yesterday after I had spent a week trying to fatten
her up she only weighed 6.6, she gained 1 ounce
in a week instead of the 7 ounces they were hoping
for. This is not good. So now after I feed her I have
to give her formula & also pump each time to
up my milk supply.

We took her out to lunch after the appointment.
She had a whole menu to choose from and
she still wanted my milk so that is good right?

Ava wasn't up for photos.
Good thing Norah is too young to protest.
I just hope with this new constant feeding schedule
Norah will find her happy place. Maybe she was
just mad she wasn't getting full enough??
She never really seems hungry after she
eats but we soon will see....

Adventures in Potty Training...

Image
I began potty training Ava right around the time she turned one. I broke out the potty and began encouraging away. She faked interest in the beginning but soon it became apparent that the child was a little hopeless, to say the least. Throughout the year that followed I realized that this strong willed child would need a little more time, as well as mom backing the heck off. Before she turned two I came across a blog a mom was writing who made a bold statement of parents simply being lazy if they aren't potty training their kids very quickly. I was so mad about when I read that but also felt like maybe she was right all at the same time. It motivated me to simply take away Ava's diapers and sort of force her into being ready. I spent the entire day encouraging her as she had accident after accident. She managed to pee in her potty about 4 times and everywhere else about 347 times. I was so stressed out, so was she. At one point she peed on the floor and looked up at me...
