Already a week old


MS celebrated her 1 week old birthday on Thursday... She got a fantastic present too! She got to come home from the hospital woohoo! I thought I would be up all night, get no sleep, and have her screaming all hours of the night but I thought wrong. The past two nights have been very mellow, she is eating great and keeping her temperature YAY!


Went to the doctor on Friday and she has gained 2 more ounces in a day bringing her up to 4 lbs. 5 oz. he said to keep up what we were doing and she would be big in no time. She is now in the 7th percentile for weight she was in 3rd so thats always good news.


Her umbilical cord fell off at the doctors office when the doctor was examining her. Not sure if she has an innie or an outie, its kinda in between... I will report more on that later!


M has become quite the daddy, he gets up with me for MS feedings and loves to take care of all her needs and of course hold her hold her hold her. Right now they are cuddled up in bed sleeping, its really cute!

Oh Shawnee, she is sooooo gorgeous. Love the rainbow cap she's wearing. Soooo cute!

I am glad to hear MS is packing in some weight. My Poopee also had a bit of weight loss in the first few days, but since picked up a little bit. The problem is she REFUSED to be breastfed. She is so stubborn. I am now desperately trying to express for her in between her formula feeds. It is driving me complete nuts.

Congrats for finally able to bring her home. I am still trying to get settled with my routine. Its quite tough isn't it?? :)
