Our little girl weighed about 5 lbs 7 oz a week ago, so she may be getting closer to 6 lbs now! Her fluid was down to a 5 which is very low, but on the last check it was up to a 10!!!! I am getting it checked again on Friday to make sure its staying up high enough. We still have not decided on a name- and probably won't decide for sure until we meet her. I put her crib up today in Ethan's room, because I just HAD to have a spot just for her. Ethan and Kinsey play in there a lot, but hopefully there won't be any major issues. She will have her bassinet in our room for a month or two anyways.
Kinsey has some unusual spots or bruises- but we had bloodwork and the results were all normal! So at least she has nothing serious going on. Still very unsure why they were there or how they got to be so perfectly round. The dr said "she must have slept on something" yeah right!! Hopefully though, it really is nothing and it won't happen again. She also had her 18 month check up this month. She is 22 lbs and 31.5 inches long. She is doing really well physically and mentally. She seems to really understand quite a bit and she knows a ton of words! She really impresses us!
Ethan is back to having night terrors about twice a week. He had them a lot a few months ago, but then had a break where he wasn't having them at all. They have been lasting anywhere from 2 minutes up to 20 minutes. Its so hard to be there when he is having one, because all I want to do is comfort him and I can't. He has no idea I am there and if I try to talk to him he gets more mad (even though he's asleep). So I just have to wait it out. Right now I am putting Chamomille drops in his milk in the afternoon and evening. They are supposed to be great for night terrors since they relax the nervous system. So far so good- but he will have to take them a bit longer to really know for sure. Otherwise- he is doing pretty well. He is super smart- but has some behavioral issues. He is of course 3- and a boy!! But I do think some of his behavioral problems are more then an age thing- so Im trying to work on it the best I know how. I just pray he becomes a very respectful well mannered young man one day!
He will, Ethan will turn out fine. I have the same worries, but you are a great Mom and you love him. He will be great!
