Courtney went in yesterday for her 4 week appointment (at 6 weeks) and my suspicions were right, our girl is HUGE. She's up to 10lbs 7oz and is 22 inches long. She went from the 15% in weight (at 5 days old) to the 60% - she's gained almost 4 pounds!! No wonder her clothes don't fit.
The pediatrician confirmed my suspicions that Courtney does have reflux - it's an exercise in wardrobe changes. She eats, I lay her down to change her and the minute she sits up - blah, all over her clothes. She also has a little colic, which likes to rear its ugly head at 11pm and lasts until 2am or so. I think we got to sleep at 1am last night but I don't really remember, all our nights are a blur. She was supposed to get her first round of vaccinations yesterday (she can get them anytime between 6 - 8 weeks) but I wasn't mentally prepared for that at all. We'll go back in 2 weeks to have them done and hopefully I'll be prepared for that. I know, so dramatic of me and I'm not the one who's going to get stuck with a needle.

When you go for the vaccinations, give her some Tylenol about a half hour before she will get stuck.
