My tiny little Lisa


The only thing out of the ordinary this week was taking Lisa to the doctor. I don’t like it very much. I feel like I am being tested, and I feel like I fail too often. Lisa is very small, this time she is in the 2nd %tile. The doctor keeps telling me not to worry; she says that I am small and that I can’t expect a huge baby. She also says that Lisa is particularly active (you would know if you have seen Baby Lisa in action). We go to a practice with a lot of doctors and I don’t mind for any of them in particular, the doctor who saw Lisa this time doesn't know Mike. She told me “surprisingly enough Lisa is thin but tall, how tall is her dad?” I guess she was picturing a Mexican dad ha-ha! Anyway, no matter how many times she says not to worry, I do. Baby Lisa is also teething, so eating and sleeping has been so hard; she even lost some weight this week.  My baby is never fussy, so it really breaks my heart to see her miserable. We have tried everything. Ice cubes, frozen breast milk, toy to chew. Maybe I‘ll try one of those amber necklaces. Any teething or weight gain tips are welcome.
We had a terrible week, so I didn't take any pictures, just these ones with my phone. Lisa loves avocado and pears.




That is it for our week. Mike keeps working 60 to 70 hours a week.He has one semester of his masters degree under his belt. I am practicing driving with my neighbor again. I don’t see myself driving really. I am so scared, but at least I am trying. Driving school is too expensive.
