Hi Angela!!
All that blood must have been scary. I stopped bleeding the day before my 6 week checkup, although it had almost stopped by then. No period yet, thank goodness.
Your little Ava seems to be going through what my Mia did. I kept telling the doctor...she spits up too much! And has gas all the time! But it DID get better, and she still spits up a little when she eats, but it doesn't bother her (she wears bibs!), and gas is much better too. In fact, her fussiness peaked around 6 weeks, and by 8 weeks was MUCH improved, and now it's rare for her to fuss for long. We were lucky that the pacifier worked well for her, but she also learned to suck her thumb around 10 weeks, so maybe Ava will learn that too. I'm convinced that it's why Mia learned to sleep all night long...because she can comfort herself back to sleep.

Today was my first day back at work, and it's been hard. I got up at 5 and Mia wouldn't go to sleep so I only got about 3 hours of sleep. Plus being away just stinks!

But I'll only be apart from her Tuesdays and Wednesdays, I work from home Thursdays and have Mon and Fri off. And she's being cared for at our home by my brother's girlfriend, who is part of our family (wish my brother would ask her already!!), and loves Mia to death. So I am pretty lucky. But I can't wait to see her!!

Well, good luck with everything, I can't believe Mia is 4 months already, she is SO chubby. I'll have to post some new pics. And yeah, post some more of Ava!
