Day 14

She gained a whole pound in the last 9 days! That’s honestly a relief. Since babies can’t communicate through words whether they’re hungry or full, we have to try to interpret physical cues and diaper change frequency to know if they’re getting the food and nutrients they need. It seems like much more of an art than a science. But now knowing that she’s growing and on track is reassuring.

I think my wife and I are getting into more of a routine so that we each can get periods of rest to recharge. Remember when I wrote the post about people saying how sleep is going to be precious and I’m scarce quantity? Well, that’s proven to be true. I think the last couple of days my body has adjusted a bit more to being able to sleep an hour or two at a time. I was never a napping kinda guy previously so it’s a bit of a change for my sleep structure.

Lastly, she continues to be a champ in the car. She sleeps well and has been really calm on each of our adventures. Let’s hope that continues!

So long for now.
