1 month!!

Sydney is one month old today!  She is becoming more alert when she’s awake and she is starting to stay awake longer.  Thankfully, she still has her days and nights straight so we are crossing our fingers she doesn’t change that on us!  She is taking 3 oz at each feeding and is sleeping in 4 hour stretches.  Although, last night she slept all night – 7.5 hours!  I know it’s a fluke at this age but it was nice!  Both Steve and I thought the other one had woke up with her in the middle of the night to feed her but nope, neither of us had.  She really slept that long!  We also overcame a hurdle today…napping in the crib!  She has taken short naps in her crib but today she slept about 3 hours and seems to be getting more used to being in there. J

Tuesday we took Sydney for an ultrasound of her hips (just to make sure nothing was wrong with them since she was breech).  She did really well for the ultrasound.  Her pediatrician’s office called Wednesday with the results and said that everything looked fine for both hips!  Yay!  Knowing that everything is okay with her hips, we can fully concentrate on correcting her Torticollis.  Today we went for PT for her Torticollis and the therapist said that her range of motion is getting better so we just need to keep working on her stretching and massages.  We’ll go to PT once a week until the therapist determines she can go see them less frequently.

There was no hurri-quake this week but it has been raining and thunder storming almost EVERY day/night.  Luckily, Sydney sleeps through anything (Steve ran the vacuum under her swing the other night and she didn’t even startle).  Some roads washed out headed towards Colonial Beach and Westmoreland due to the amount of rain but everything is okay on our end.

Steve went back to work this week but will be taking off again when his parents come for a visit in a couple of weeks.  Sydney has her 1 month pediatrician appointment next Wednesday.  Oh, and we set up a savings account for Sydney this week too…need to start saving for a car, college, wedding…etc... J 

I’m having trouble uploading pictures tonight so I’ll try again tomorrow....
