Weight: She was up to 7.8lbs (from 7.4 at discharge) at her appointment on Wednesday 12/26 and we have tried weighing her by DH holding her on the scale and then he weighs just himself. If that is accurate, she's 8.8lbs!! I doubt she would gain a pound in less than a week.
Health: She's perfect! The Ped's doc said she has milk jaundice and she's not concerned anymore about regular jaundice. My MIL said today that she looks much less yellow than before.
Sleep: Getting better, she's giving me 3 hour stretched. Now that she's at her birth weight, I don't have to wake her every 2-3 hours to feed. Sometimes she'll go 4 hours between diaper change & feeding, but I believe in not waking a sleeping baby!
Clothes: Still Newborn, I only have about 5 sleepers, so we are just rotating and doing a load every few days. I refuse to buy anymore NB clothes.
Social: Smiling more (probably just gas!). She followed DH's finger today and she calms down when she hears our voices.
Visitors: Just our parents at home. She met her cousins and 2nd cousins on NYD when we had our annual lunch at a pizza place.
Diet: Breastmilk
Baby Gear: Trying out tummy time today since her cord fell off yesterday, she didn't like it. She does love her swing, but as for toys, no interest yet.
Crying: Really only when she's hungry, needs a diaper change, or needs to burp.
Likes: Walking and bouncing. She loves when the dog comes over and sniffs her, she doesn't cry but it looks like she's being tickled.
Milestones: Being back up to north weight and losing the umbilical cord
Postpartum: I've lost 22 of the 45 lbs I gained. It's funny, I forget to eat all the time. Between taking care of AJ and trying to get some sleep in, I'm lucky if I eat 3 times a day. Plus I am moving all around this house 100 miles a minute. I hate that it's so cold out and we can't take walks.
And now some pictures!
