There is one thing that Brooklyn has definitely inherited from her parents. One thing that isn't exactly the best thing either. She has absolutely NO patience. None. At all. What-so-ever. This is especially apparent when it is time for her to eat. She will be perfectly fine or asleep one moment, and then next awake and ready to eat, immediately! Now if she is breast feeding, it's not that big of a deal. Her meal is ready for her in seconds. If she is eating from the bottle though... oh boy, it's a whole different story.
More often than not, she doesn't give you any warning that she is ready to eat, unless you are aware of her eating schedule, which she doesn't always like to follow. When her grandparents watch her, they have to feed her milk from a bottle. I think this can usually be handled by one person, but not in Brooklyn's case. It becomes a two person job. One person has to warm the bottle up, because obviously the milk has to stay cold. This process can take a while. Then once it's warm, if it's too warm, you have to cool it down. In the mean time, the other has to take care of Brooklyn and try to calm her down. Well, this whole process just isn't fast enough for Brooklyn. When she wants food, she wants it right then. No exceptions. She will cry and fuss until she gets her way too.
I am hoping that as she gets older she will learn to grow out of her impatient attitude and mellow out. Though I am thinking, if she is anything like her daddy or myself, we will have no such luck!
Love,
Jennifer

Late Night With Brooklyn
It looks like it is going to be yet another late night with Brooklyn. As I type, with one hand, I am in the rocking chair, holding Brooklyn tight, trying to rock her to sleep. She isn't feeling her best right now. Not only is she fighting sleep, but she started screaming about 15 minutes ago because we think her tummy was hurting her. I finally got her calmed down from all the screaming and now am just working on getting her to sleep. The recliner I am rocking her in continues to pop every time I go back and forth in it. It's old and worn out. Thankfully we will be getting a new recliner for me to rock her in within the next week though.
Anyway, this isn't the first night Brooklyn has kept me up late recently. Last night I was awake with her until 1:30 in the morning. Luckily it wasn't because of a tummy ache though. No, this time it was my own fault. I had her sleep most of the day and then she slept all evening too. So when ten o'clock rolled around and it was time for her feeding before bedtime, she was wide awake. I think I tried about three times to rock her to sleep, only for her to wake right back up as soon as I got in the bed room and laid down.
So the bedtime thing is something that I really need to start working on. On average, we don't get o go to bed until sometime between 10:30 through midnight. She always has to have that one last meal to get her through the night.On one hand, I don't mind being up that late with her because I know it will help her sleep all the way through the night. On the other though, her daddy needs to be in bed at a decent time because he has to get up earlier than we do in the morning to go to work. She is a work in progress though. Hopefully we will be able to fine tune her routine soon enough. Until then, we will just stay up and enjoy Jay Leno!

Sleeping Through the Night
I have been told that I am a very lucky person. Every time some one tells me this, I like to knock on wood and hope that nothing will change. Why am I lucky you might ask? I am lucky, because at 7 weeks old, Brooklyn was already sleeping through the night. Now at 9 weeks, she still sleeps though the night! We are finally getting into a routine and Brooklyn is growing up.
I feed Brooklyn every night between 10 and 11. Never any later than midnight, and that is if she ate a late "dinner time meal." After that last feeding, she goes to sleep and will sleep clear through the night until about 6 to 7 in the morning! Usually some where around the 7 o'clock hour, she will start to get really squirmy and wake up ready to eat. Every now and then she will get a little fussy in the middle of the night, but not very often. It's nice to finally get some "sleep" though.
So I am going to keep on knocking on wood and hope that Brooklyn will continue to sleep through the night!!

Brooklyn's 2 Month Doctor Appointment
This morning I took Brooklyn in to the doctor for her two week check up and to get her shots. I was not too excited about this appointment, but overall I think it went pretty well.
Brooklyn is 9 pounds and 8 ounces now and 22 inches long. She gained 7 ounces in 2 weeks and grew half an inch. The doctor said the slowing down in weight gain was ok though and there was nothing to worry about. She was gaining about a pound every 2 weeks. Brooklyn is currently in the 10-15 percentile for her weight and 25 percentile for her length which Dr. Beard said was good.
The main reason Brooklyn went in was to get her shots. They were wanting to give her 6 shots at once, but I wasn't about to let that happen. I just got done reading a book on all the immunizations and the affects that they have on children when they are given to them all at once. It gave me a look into both sides of the situations. The doctor that wrote the book gave her opinion and what she does with her patients about giving the immunizations and when. The doctor in the book suggests not giving children any immunizations until they are at least 4 months old and their immune systems are further developed and able to handle all of the vaccines. They think one of the major contributors, (based on studies, but not completely proven), to autism developing in children is them getting their vaccinations all in mass dosages. They think getting too many of them overloads their system and they are not able to handle it. Not to mention the mercury and other things in the vaccinations. I asked though and all of the shots that Brooklyn's doctors office gives are mercury free. They also do not combine multiple shots. Each shot is it's own individual one.
The suggestion given by the doctor in the book is to spread the shots out and only give them one at a time that way if there is some kind of reaction you know what shot the reaction was to. So today she only got the Rotavirus vaccine, which was oral, the HIB, and the polio shot. Then at four months we will go back in and start her DTaP shots and maybe one other. Dale's mom said Dale had a really bad reaction to that shot on the fourth dose so he never finished it. So before she gets that shot I will have to ask the doctor if she is at a higher risk for having side affects since Brooklyn's daddy had a bad reaction to the vaccine.
Dr. Beard wasn't too happy that I wasn't giving her all her shots today but I told her that it was a risk I was willing to take postponing them for two more months, especially since Brooklyn is not going to daycare and all. I told her since autism spectrum disorders run in her family that I don't want to do anything that might potentially increase her risk of getting it. Since it is still neither proven or disproved that vaccines don't cause it, her getting all the shots at once just wasn't happening and that I didn't mind the fact that I would have to come in every month for her to get a shot.
So anyway, Brooklyn was really good until they gave her the shots. Then she turned into a firey, red, angry looking Elmo and screamed at the top of her lungs until I picked her up. Then she calmed down a little but still cried until we got to the car where she fell asleep. She has been fine since though. I have to give her .4 of Tylenol every 4-6 hours as needed and massage her thigh 3-4 times a day with a warm cloth.
The doctor is also going to keep her on her acid reflux medicine until she is 6-9 months old since it seems to be helping with the spit up problem. She still gets fussy after she eats and still chokes up a couple hours after, which is why she wants us to keep giving her the medicine three times a day. She said eventually Brooklyn will grow out of it though and be fine.
Dr. Beard also said Brooklyn is going to be eating a lot more during the day and that it was fine since she sleeps through the night and she will start going through a real growth spurt here soon. I was concerned I wasn't producing enough milk and that she wasn't getting enough but the doctor said the 3-4 ounces she eats at a time are fine. The doctor said that I will know if she is dehydrated because of her number of wet diapers will decrease. So as long as that doesn't happen then she is ok.
I also had the doctor check all Brooklyn's joints because I was concerned since Brooklyn's daddy doesn't have any joints in ankles, and Dr. Beard said they were fine also. She was impressed by how strong of a grip Brooklyn had, how well she can already hold her head up, and how she was smiling and trying to laugh. I guess not all babies do as well as she is doing at 9 weeks, at least that was the impression I got from the doctor.
The next well baby check up is at four months. By then I think Brooklyn should be around 13-14 pounds maybe....I will have to call and schedule that appointment around the end of March. Overall, Brooklyn is perfect. I already knew that though!

Jennifer

Brooklyn the Fussy
So we thought Brooklyn was going to be a colic baby. At about 5 weeks, Brooklyn started becoming very fussy and there was nothing we could do to fix her. It turns out that she in fact suffers from acid reflux. After three different prescribed medications, we are starting to think that we finally got the situation under control. Her doctor, Dr. Beard, is convinced that the acid reflux problems is what was causing her to spit up. She thinks that she may also suffer from colic, but that it wasn't the only reason she was fussy.
The first medication that we tried was a pill that I had to hold in Brooklyn's mouth as it dissolved. That did not go over well because this pill did not dissolve fast enough and she got tired of my finger being in her mouth. So then we were prescribed a liquid medicine. Well that didn't work because it actually caused Brooklyn to spit up even more. So then, finally, Dr. Beard gave us Zantac for babies. We had some problems with it at first, but after keeping at it, it has seemed to help cut down on the spit up.
Trying to get Brooklyn to take it is a whole other thing though. This medicine is a nasty mint flavor, which she HATES. I have to give her this medicine three times a day too. So thinking that it might help, I took the medicine and had it flavored. The only flavor Walgreens could add to the medicine though was grape. So now, the medicine is a nasty grape mint flavor. I tried a little bit of the medicine just to know what it taste like, and it is SO gross. I feel horrible having to give her this medicine. She gags on it and everything. I have to hurry and give her the medicine and then hurry to feed her so she will keep as much of the medicine down as possible.
Brooklyn still has issues, even though she is on the medicine. Usually about an hour or two after she eats, she sometimes gets choked up and I have to hurry to sit her up and pat her on the back. Plus, every now and then she will still become really fussy after eating. We think this is because she is a pretty gassy baby. So to help with that problem we give her something they sell over the counter called Gripe Water. This stuff is AWESOME! It's an herbal supplement that is suppose to help with gas, stomach cramps, hiccups, and colic. Almost the second we give Brooklyn some, she calms right down. I don't know what I would do without it!
Anyway, Dr. Beard seems to think Brooklyn will outgrow all of this by 6-9 months. Just another thing to look forward to as she gets older!

Brooklyn, The Car, and Kanye West
Brooklyn loves to go for rides in the car. Almost any time she is fussy, we can just strap her in her car seat and take her for a ride. She will 9 times out of 10 calm right down. There has to be something about the movement of the car and maybe the noise that calms her down and puts her to sleep. Every now and then she will fight going to sleep and will still try to fuss. At that point, we play a little Kanye West and she calms right now. I don't know what it is about Kayne West, but it soothes her.
When Brooklyn was still in my tummy, Dale would play Kayne West in the car, and would turn it all the way up. Brooklyn would kick every time he played the music. Now, it calms her and will put her to sleep. It's amazing! I think he should make a rated G baby album next! So thank you Kayne West for helping calm Brooklyn down and put her to sleep!

Who Brooklyn Looks Like
So it is said that Brooklyn looks just like her daddy. It is also said she looks just like her mommy. So who does she really look like? Well that is a question that continues to go unanswered because Brooklyn continues to change every day. She might look like me on one day, then her daddy the next.
According the her Grandma Carrie, Brooklyn looks like me because of her hair color and eye color and nose and mouth. In fact, there are some pictures were Brooklyn does actually look like me. This is especially true now that he hair is starting to turn red and her eyes are blue. Her nose though, I think is her daddy's. I think the only thing Brooklyn has of mine for sure are my hands, feet, lips, hair color and eyes (currently), and temper. I am hoping, as well as everyone else, that her eyes will stay blue. The temper thing she can lose though because one person with my temper is plenty for her daddy to handle.
Now, according to her Grandma Belinda, Brooklyn looks like her daddy because of her eyes (the shape), her ears, nose, dimples, and the build of her body. Brooklyn has a long body and short legs, which is totally her daddy's build. I had long legs and arms. She is definitely getting her daddy's ears. They are starting to stick out from her head a little like her daddy's did when he was a baby, which is SO cute. Her eyes seem to be a little bit bigger than her daddy's, but the angle of them look like her daddy. Then, Brooklyn has dimples. She has one on each cheek and then two on her chin, which her daddy had, and still has to this day.
So to recap from head to toe. Brooklyn at this moment in time seems to have my hair color, her daddy's perfectly round head, her daddy's eyes, my eye color, her daddy's eye lashes, the nose is still at a toss up, her daddy's ears, my lips, her daddy's cheeks and structure, her daddy's dimples, her daddy's build, my long fingers, my feet, my toes, her daddy's bottom, or lack there of, and my temper. Overall, I think she is a perfect, beautiful mix of us both.

When Brooklyn Sleeps
So currently, Brooklyn sleeps with me at night. There has not been one night since the day she was born that she has slept by herself. Especially since that incident where the hat got pulled over her face on the second night home. I am just too paranoid. Plus now, Brooklyn has acid reflux problems which we are treating her for. She still gets choked up even a couple of hours after she eats and I have to rush to sit her up and pat her on her back. So this makes me even more paranoid that something is going to happen if she sleeps by herself and I won't hear her choking.
Now I know, I know, I shouldn't' t let her sleep with me because then I will NEVER get my bed back and then there is the increased risk that I might roll over on her. However, since I have become a mother, I find that I don't really sleep at night. Brooklyn always sleeps on my left side, so there is no risk of her daddy rolling over on her, and she sleeps on her side. She is not a back sleeping baby. She is comfy on her tummy and her side. The only time she sleeps on her tummy is when she is laying on my chest, or during the day for a little nap. Other than that, she's on her side. So at night, she sleeps with her head on my arm, on her side, curled into a ball with her binky in her mouth. I make sure that she doesn't roll into me and suffocate by keeping my chin on her forehead at all times, so she is a safe distance away from my chest.
Her daddy is still worried about her sleeping against me like she does, but for me, it's a comfort thing knowing that she is right there next to me at night. Plus, like I said, I don't really sleep. I am constantly aware of every single move and noise she makes. Now I have tried to put her in her bassinet, which is right beside my side of the bed. This doesn't work though. Usually, as soon as I put her down, away from me, she wakes up and starts crying. The longest she has ever slept in the bassinet was for an hour. Then she woke up and started screaming. As soon as I pick her up though, she is perfectly fine and goes right back to sleep. I will try to let her cry until a certain point, when she starts hyperventilating. Then at that point she sleeps with me.
She has become so spoiled to being held all the time that very rarely am I able to put her down during the day. She either sits in my lap with me all day while I do whatever needs to be done on the computer ( like she is right now, passed out, sleeping on my lap), or she is in the sling that I wear around my shoulder. Brooklyn will lay in her crib every now and then and allow me to get things done though.
I spoke with the doctor today and asked how long the risk of SIDS lasts, and she told me only until about 6-9 months, until she is able to roll over on to her stomach by herself. After that it won't matter really how she lays. So I am excited for that risk to go away.
I am sure that I am one day going to really regret holding her so much, but right now, I love it. Like someone once told me, "a child isn't really ever spoiled, they are just loved a lot more than others." So that is my excuse!

Jennifer

I'm Staying At Home
So it is official! I am now a stay at home mom. I am so excited and blessed to be able to stay at home with my beautiful baby girl! I don't think I would be able to handle going back to work because I am so attached to her. I am so happy that I'm not going to miss the memorable moments in her life like her first word and when she starts crawling and walking. I will miss my job a little, mainly my friends, but I don't mind giving that all up for her. Eventually I will start working from home as a medical transcriptionist, which I am currently in school for now. For the time being though, I am just going to enjoy and soak up every minute I spend with her because she is already growing up too fast for me!
Love,
Jennifer
