Introducing...Jessica Baggott

2-7-01: Born February 7, 2001 at 1:40 am, weighing 7 pounds, 7 ounces. Jessica was discharged from the hospital weighing 6 pounds, 13 ounces. She came home to Duncan on Friday, February 9, and settled in quite nicely. She learned to breastfeed and had many visitors. Jessica weighed in at her first doctor appointment at 7 pounds 1 ounce. She and Mom were still trying to get breastfeeding down. Jessica's belly button stump has fallen off by the first appointment, but the doctor prescribes some topical ointment for the area which looks a little red to be applied for a couple of days. At the end of the first week Nana and Pop-Pop Monoson returned to Little Rock, while Grandma Baggott stayed behind to help Jessica, Mom, and Dad get through the next five weeks. Jessica treated Aunt Tracy to a birthday lunch on Valentine's Day and then Aunt Tracy and Uncle Nick got engaged at dinner that night. Jessica celebrated her first Valentines Day with Mom and Dad. Mom, Dad, and baby attended a private lactation consultation to try to get the breastfeeding technique perfected.
