Fatten Quinn Up

Quinn's internal clock is now officially on a 2 hour schedule. Which isn't that bad during the day but causes quite the havoc during the night. Not much sleep for mom or dad but Quinn is gaining weight and up a full ounce from Wednesday.

She had an ultrasound today and was a regular lady with the technician.

We also visited the breastfeeding clinic today again and got a pretty good nurse. She offered tonnes of support and said it is just a matter of time before Quinn goes all out on the boob. Quinn really has no issues latching and sucking. It is the effort and the focus she needs to work on. We will cut her a break since she isn't even 2 weeks old.

People still assume she is a boy with her name. It doesn't help that we have all unisex sleepers and clothes that were bought before we knew she was a girl. We can't wait till we can put in the pigtails.

We now know that Quinn enjoys to pee when there is no diaper on. The last 3 diaper changes she has saved a stream of pee for when she has no diaper on and is airing out the goods. It could be worse, she could have the urge to poop at that time. All in all it is no big deal.

She is still good to only cry when she needs something, although she still gets frustrated that she can't soothe herself to sleep. We are working on that one.

Mom and Dad are alternating naps today to catch up on sleep from last night. We will see if we can get the hang of it.
