Jessalyn is 6 weeks old tomorrow, and I realized I never updated her progress!
She is now 5 and a half pounds (5 lbs 4 oz last Thursday), which still puts her below 5th percentile, but she IS growing. Just this week, she started being awake and looking at people and objects, so I am relieved because I was getting a little worried. She has two appointments coming up with different departments to check a couple things but overall, she's doing great.
The only bad thing is this little munchkin is NOT a good sleeper at night. It is foreign territory for me, because around 5 or 6 weeks with Kara, pretty much all I had to do was put her down at night, and she'd sleep great! (As my grandma told me last night, that goes to show that oldest children really are the best. Haha! Ok, kidding, kidding). I think the biggest reason she won't sleep is because she is REALLY refluxy at night--bad enough that she chokes sometimes, and this morning, it came up her nose. I feel so bad for her! We've had her sleep in the swing for the last few nights to help her sleep upright and help her feel better.
Jessalyn is such a sweet baby. We all love her to pieces! Kara is constantly telling me "I love my baby sister," and has named her doll "baby Jessalyn." Our family wouldn't be the same without her!

That's so sad about the reflux! Hopefully it won't last long.
