4 Weeks and a Growth Spurt...

Linnea got to meet great grandma and grandpa Bremer this weekend when we headed down to Red Wing to celebrate the Meyers ladies birthdays! There are 3 bdays in a row so we always just combine them and do one big celebration at Grandma and Grandpas. Linnea did great on the road trip to Red Wing. It was the longest trip yet...1 hour! Way to go baby!
Happy 4 weeks Linnea! As you can see she wears mittens...quite a bit...and not just outside. The girl has scratched her little face too many times so Chris and I throw the mittens on in hopes of preventing this. She just gets so frantic when it is time to eat that she has her hands right up by the bottle "helping" us feed her but she ends up with marks on her face! What a twerp!
We are having fun with her, her cold and all. I maybe panicked a little on Wednesday when she was coughing and crying so much and then lost her breath more than once so I called Chris who had just left for work and he came home and we took her to urgent care. Turns out thankfully that it is just a cold. Her lungs sound fine and she now weighs 7 lbs 14 oz!!! So she is gaining weight and is overrall healthy. I think she is growing more because the squirt wants to eat every 2 hours!
She is having way more alert time which is so fun to watch! Her lil eyes go all around the room and stare back at us! We love it!
The nights are still a guessing game...sometimes we feed her 2 or 3 times a night and she will go right back to sleep...other times she eats and wants to stay up until its time to eat again. Oh well!

Those growth spurts are something else... they just want to eat and sleep and eat and sleep. :)
