- We had a weight check this morning at the Pedi and she weighed in at a whopping 8 lbs 9 oz!! Woohoo!!! The Dr's goal was 1 oz per day and she put on 10 oz in 7 days. Go Hayden!
- As the above implies, we finally got the breastfeeding thing working. Lots of tears and physical pain later, it's rolling without any issues.
- Last night I had to wake her up after 6 1/2 hours because my boobs were about to explode. It was her first night in her room and she must have liked it!
- She sleeps long durations but doesn't like to go to sleep until about 11pm. It wouldn't be so bad if we didn't have a toddler up at 7am. I hope she acquires an earlier bedtime soon.
- Today is the first day of working to get her on a solid schedule. I read Babywise with Isaac and followed the routine of Eat, Wake, Sleep which worked wonders. Here's hoping for a repeat!
- She is getting stronger and stronger and is starting to hold her head up on her own. We try to do some tummy time each day.
- Her umbilical cord stump fell off on Saturday so she got her first real bath last night.
- She is slowly starting to wake up more during the day. Still such a content baby. I hope it continues.
- Some of the newborn onesies I put her in at birth are starting to be short in length already.
- I've had a glass of wine a few evenings this week. Glorious. :)
- My weight has leveled off at around +5 lbs. I can lose 5 lbs, but I'm more worried about returning everything to it's normal "shape". Ha!
- I'm recovering much better and feel ~80%. I still get a bit sore in the evenings but can be on my feet quite a bit during the day without discomfort. I did have a scare on Saturday thinking my incision was infected. I kept it very clean by wiping with alcohol swabs all weekend and today the swelling and redness is significantly less so I think it's okay. I'll call the Dr if it doesn't continue to improve.
Here are a few pictures from the week!
