Busy Week for Nora

This week was a busy one for Baby Nora. Andy was gone for the week, so Nora had to hang out with Mom all week. She seems to be changing quickly. Her sleep schedule is becoming more routine and predictable with longer naps during the day. Her feeding schedule is also a little less out of control. It seemed like she was eating 24/7 a few weeks ago and now she seems to be more efficient and consolidates her feeding into 5 or 6 sessions per day.

On Wednesday, the special ed teacher from Early On visited. More paperwork and more talking. At the end of the month, the teacher and therapist will give us their recommendations for the services she qualifies for. By the time this program gets moving, she will be 6 months old. I am glad we have just started her in private physical therapy rather than wait for the government bureaucracy to get rolling. In the afternoon, she visited Grandma & Grandpa Forester's house while I went to the salon for some much needed hair maintenance. Thursday morning Maureen came to watch her while I went to the dentist.

Yesterday Nora got her RSV vaccine. Poor Baby. She was all smiles as the nurse weighed her and measured her and took her temp. Then the shot in the leg and she howled at the top of her lungs. She slept good that afternoon. The nurse came to our house to give her the injection which was nice. I went through all kinds of hoops with the insurance company to get her approved for the vaccine since it is very expensive. I still had to pay $150, but that is a bargain since I think the full cost is $1500!

She weighs 9 lbs 14 oz and is 21.5 inches long, which is right on target for her adjusted age of 5 weeks.
