Ultrasounds, sleeping, smiling, and puke....

We are: 6 weeks and 1 days!

Well.....it has been a crazy week. After Riley's big puke on Monday, she was fine that night. Then Tuesday was a "normal" day. Yesterday however was not "normal". Riley only slept for 10-20 minutes at a time. She was awake the rest of the time, either swinging, playing on her mat, or crying for attention. I was a bit tired by the end of the day.....so, at 11pm I FINALLY got her to sleep and to my joy she did not wake up until 5am!! I got 6 hours of sleep!! What heaven!!

Riley is still spitting up with ever feeding, however it is nothing like Mondays projectile vomiting. So i am fine with that. We started her on a vitamin that the pediatrician recommended. I just put it in one of her bottles during the day....but man it stinks! The smell is so bad!! Jackie had warned me, but I was not prepared at all!!

Today we headed off to the hospital to have an ultrasound done on her hips. Since she was born breach it was standard procedure to have it done when they are 6 weeks old. The radiologist said that everything looked good on her right hip. Her left hip needs to be watched for a little tension. But she said that we will have to follow up in a bit, nothing to worry about.

Finally...on a bright side, Riley had her first real smile today that we could document!! I still need to download the photos that I tried to take. Of course the camera was too slow to get the full photo, but I got half smiles anyways.

Here is to hoping that she sleeps another 6 hours tonight!! I would love to be spoiled again.

Awwww look at those smiles!!! How cute! It is so fun to see them smile and it feels so good to know that she is really "happy".
