Did you know that every mother in Franklin county is entitled to a newborn home visit from a registered nurse who comes and checks out the mom & baby within 6 weeks of the baby's birth? Yep, it is true! And, our home visit was yesterday. Eleanor was a true hostess and charmed the nurse from minute one of introductions (they don't call every baby beautiful, do they? I doubt it!). Along with getting the big thumbs up that both Mommy & Nora are growing and healing wonderfully, we also found out that Eleanor is now 8 pounds, 8 ounces and 22 inches long. Her head is 14 inches around (and normal is between 13-15, so her melon is right on target size wise). Go Baby! It is funny to me how much of your first months of life involve being weighed and measured, but hey, I am tickled pink that she is healthy and growing strong.
In other updates, we have now visited both Mommy & Daddy's workplaces and various restaurants and coffee shops, grocery stores and friends' homes, and had our very first family portrait done. We get out at least 1-2 everyday and we just recently figured out that the air conditioning wakes our girl up, while her July blood prefers the 90 temps raging our fair city these days. She sleeps peacefully amid the haze and humidity while her parents sweat like they are sitting in a sauna.
And, the latest news from today: Remember the great daycare I thought we were so ahead of the game by getting on the waiting list in pregnancy month 4? Yeah, we are somewhere on the list with an estimated wait time of OVER A YEAR!!!! Well, we'll stay on the list, but we are now exploring other options *sigh* for Eleanor's start of daycare in 3-4 weeks. Wish us luck!
