Transitioning to the crib.

Emery had begun waking up every 2 hours, and then not going back to sleep in her bassinet and ending up in bed with me. She would also scratch the sides of her bassinet so last Saturday (Sept 24th) I decided to give the crib a try. I was having a hard time letting her sleep across the house in our other bedroom though so we moved the crib into our bedroom :) So far so good, she has been back to sleeping 6 or 7 hours, but she rolls and ends up smashed against the sides of the crib. I don't think there is much to do about that though except just keep an eye on her.

Baby Food Beginnings

Saturday I took my rent check to the Hansens and came home with 2 spaghetti squash, 2 butternut squash, 4 zucchini, a pound of green beans, 30 beets, 20 potatoes, peaches, tomatoes, and crook neck squash. So tomorrow begins a baby food making spree. I got a bunch of ice cube trays and freezer bags today. Aaron is running to get a new bottom for our blender tonight, and tomorrow I'll start cooking and pureeing everything. She still has a month before she starts on any food but I'm excited to start giving her solids and seeing her reaction. I'm even more excited to have all this fresh fruits and veggies so she can be eating non-processed, preservative and additive free baby food! I'll let ya know how it goes

4 month check-up

I decided it was time for a well check for Emery, so I scheduled her for a 4 month check up. It was August 19th. When I got there, they asked me for Emery's insurance card, I didn't have one. So they asked me for my insurance card, then informed me that it said Emery wasn't eligible for our insurance. I told them to give me a minute while I called my husband to check on that. Aaron assured me she was on our insurance but said he would check with the hr people. Meanwhile we were called back to see Carol. During the appointment Aaron called to tell me that Emery wasn't covered by our insurance. We had 30 days to put her on after she was born, we didn't, and now had to wait till open enrollment in January. So this well check ended up costing us $100! Good news is she's nice and health. 15 lbs and 25 inches. She is in the 78th percentile so she's nice and chunky! Good thing I paid someone $100 to weigh and measure her. (I'm a little bitter)
