So I guess that long nap really helped her to catch up on some lost sleep, as she slept MUCH better last night. I think one of the biggest reasons for her not sleeping well at night was that our room is just so cold. Apparently a footed sleeper, swaddle, and two blankets on top isn't enough for Leni. So last night, she was in a footed sleeper, swaddled, and then had a thick minky blankt folded in half (so doubled) on top and I put a toque on her. As if that wasn't enough, we had a portable oil heater in our room to keep it somewhat warm. Apparently that was warm enough for Leni as she slept SO MUCH BETTER.
Today, we went to the health unit for Leni's 4-month immunizations and Gemma's first hepatitis B shot. Normally, hep B vaccines are given in grade 5, but because one parent (me) was born in a hep B endemic area, we have the option of vaccinating our girls early. We do plan to go to Korea at some point within the next 5 years with the girls, so I thought it would be good to just get it out of the way. Leni will get her hep B series once she is done with her normal vaccination schedule.
Leni weighed in at 15 lb and 8.5 oz, length is close to 25 inches. Overall, she is just under the 75th percentile, head shape looks perfect, and no other concerns. She handled all three shots quite well and didn't cry for too long. We treated Gemma to a happy meal after her needle because she did so well with that. She was pretty happy. LOL.
