The McMillins

Last weekend we noticed Leah's eye starting to ooze and become real watery. At first, Corey thought it was pink eye but it's actually just a clogged tear duct. Poor thing wakes up with crusty eyes. We keep putting a warm wet cloth on it and massaging it downward to try to open it up. It seems to be helping.

So far, she's been an okay baby. She's definitely not as good as Zach was as a baby but she doesn't have colic, so we're thankful for that. She tends to get fussy when she's really tired and fights her sleep. Once she's asleep, for the most part, she stays asleep. Some nights she even gives Gretchen almost 5 hours of straight sleep. She's a BIG eater and has definitely grown already. Her 1 month check-up is next Monday. Gretchen thinks she's at least 11 lbs already.

Gretchen has been trying to get ready for her parents coming down for Christmas. She LOVES for the house to be clean and organized whenever we have guests but it's been harder for her to do that with having Leah recently. Fortunately, Corey has been helping out a LOT! She's very thankful to have a husband like him.

Last Thursday, Gretchen had a full day of Doctor's appointments. In the morning she went to her Ob Doctor so that they could check her incision. Gretchen is healing well and can finally drive again. She has lost 30 lbs from when she went in to have Leah until now. She gained 50 lbs with her though.

In the afternoon, she had to take Leah to the Doctor for her 2 week check-up. She has gained 1 lb and 1/2 inch. The Doctor was impressed because most breast-fed babies lose weight the first 2 weeks but she gained. She now weighs 10 lbs 4 oz and is 21 1/2 inches long. She is very healthy and chubby! :)
