This past month has had its challenges for sure. Around week 4 Abigail started to get really fussy and unconsolable for several hours at a time. At first I just thought it was a growth spurt and in a day or two it would go away. Well a week goes by and she is still screaming for a good 2 hours in the evening. I talked to a doctor friend and he said it sounded like colic. buh buh buh. Not what a mommy wants to hear. The past several weeks have been a challenge learning how to help her, what not to do, what is comforting to her, etc.
Then last week this sweet girl started showing symptoms of thrush. So she had a purple mouth for a day or so. It seems to be getting better with each day!
On the flip side, Abigail has become for vocal. It is so fun to "talk" with her. Her cooing is one of my favorite things along with her precious smiles. I can't get enough of them.
She has been turning on her side (or attempting to) for the past few weeks now. Which makes this momma nervous since her neck muscles aren't that strong yet.
At night she sleeps anywhere from 5 hrs to 7 hrs. Woo hoo! I never thought that I would be so ecstatic about getting a full 5 hours of sleep but oh man is it great!
I have no idea how much she weighs but I do know she is getting heavier with each day and longer too. She's a good little eater! haha! We have a doctors appointment next week so hopefully we can find something out soon! My mom thinks she is about 11 lbs.
Over Thanksgiving she got to hang out with her cousin Grayson for a week and it was so funny to see them together. Gray is a few months older and so interactive. It gave me so much to look forward to! somehow I didn't take any pictures of the two of them together but it was adorable!
I'll leave you with some pictures!
