21 days old today!! So week 3 started off with a hurricane….in Sydney’s first 15 days of life she has experienced an earthquake, a severe thunderstorm, and a hurricane and she got to experience what it was like without power for almost 3 days. The hurricane wasn’t too bad on us, we lost a pear tree but other than that no damage. We lost power on Saturday and didn’t get it back until Monday evening. Luckily we have a generator and the weather was in the mid 80’s so we didn’t suffer too much.
We took Sydney to visit my office in Alexandria Monday so everyone could see her. Since it was a day after the hurricane and many people were still without power there weren’t too many people there but everyone that saw her said she was beautiful J and that she had soooo much hair…LOL.
Sydney had her 2 week pediatrician appointment Wednesday. Everything was good. She weighed 8 pounds and grew a ½ inch (according to them she was only 19 inches at her first appointment and she was 19.5 at this appointment). She’s had some discharge from her eyes but the doctor said that it was probably a blocked tear duct and that happens every now and then with infants and should go away.
Today was her second physical therapy appointment. The physical therapist said she can see an improvement in her range of motion since last week. We need to keep up the stretching exercises and she showed us some massage techniques to use on her muscle too. We need to be conscious about giving her tummy time so that the pressure on the back of her head (when they lay on their back) can be relieved and try to correct the small flat spot she has on the right side. This is what happened the other day at tummy time…
