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.
Don't worry about little Lisa. She is healthy and happy so it is ok that she is small.
ResponderEliminarGive her a little infant medicine for fever/ pain reliever so she can get her sleep. There is also a teething medicine that you can put on her gums to numb them a little.
Look around and see if you can find a driving school less expensive. That will really help you get your confidence.
ResponderEliminarThis to shall pass. Kids have phases like this where they loose weight and don't eat as well for whatever reason but things balance out how they are supposed to. She is lucky she didn't get her dad's monster genes. At least she doesn't look like a line backer :).
ResponderEliminarI remember worrying about every little thing with my first child (poor Kristy). I wish I would have been more relaxed. Don't worry about her she's just a typical little girl and a darling one I might add.

As long as Lisa is growing it doesn't matter if she is small. Great things come it small packages.
