I had my Welcome Home Baby visit today. A nurse from the local health department came to visit me and my parents, and checked in on how things are going. I was having a nice sleep when she arrived, but once Mom was finished answering the nurse’s questions, they woke me up so I could visit, too. She checked me all out and confirmed what my parents already know – I’m absolutely perfect. I weighed 6 pounds, 13 ounces, which means I am right on track for the goal of being back to my birth weight by my two week check-up.
The nurse also showed my Mom and Dad some of the tricks from “Happiest Baby on the Block,” a class that is offered locally based on a popular book. I was putty in her hands as she swaddled me in a special way, then soothed me right to sleep. It was heavenly! Now my parents have some great tools for helping keep me content when I’m feeling less than happy.
