Two weeks in and we’re slowly starting to make some progress around here. Caitlyn’s face has cleared up quite well after using the medication. Hopefully, it’ll stay that way. If not, at least I know a little dab of pee can clear it right up.
Caitlyn’s also all of a sudden gained an insatiable appetite. Just a few days ago, she was averaging about 30 to 50 ml of milk per feeding. Now she’s drinking around 90 to 120 ml. An amount I once thought unachievable for her. And she's having more of a regular feeding schedule to go along with it, too.
I’m not sure what’s caused this sudden feeding frenzy. Maybe she feels better now that her face isn’t all scratchy and itchy. Or maybe she’s going through a growth spurt. Whatever the reason is, I hope it holds.
The only downfall is that Jessie’s supply hasn’t been able to keep up with demand. Furiously pumping her breasts every few hours is becoming quite taxing for her. But at least there’s always formula to fall back on.
Another area where she’s made small gains is sleeping. Her night time schedule is pretty consistent now where she’ll sleep for 3-4 hours, wake up to feed, and then fall asleep for another 3-4 hours before waking up again to feed. As far as daytime napping is concerned though, we’re still working out the kinks. Maybe I can go buy a mannequin and place Caitlyn in its arms instead of mine.

Today was a huge step for her. It was the first day we took her out in the stroller. We weren’t sure how she’d take to it since she pretty much dislikes everything except our arms, but surprisingly enough, after a quick test drive around the living room, she quieted down and seemed to enjoy the passing scenery when we went out.
We were trying to get photos taken for her passport, but apparently she doesn’t like anybody but Daddy taking pictures of her because she put up quite a fuss. This in turn caused the photographer to tell us to come back another day when she was calm and not crying. But that’s alright. I’m still proud of our baby for the progress she’s making!
