The past few days...

Just thought I would update a bit about the past few days and how everything is going. This little girl is amazing at night, praise the Lord, and I am actually having to wake her to feed her! And most times she'll go right back to sleep after she nurses!! Craig definitely appreciates this, as he's had to go back to work already. We thought he would be off more this week but he has some huge projects due tomorrow that made him have to come in early but thankfully he'll be off most, if not all of next week for Thanksgiving. Luckily, mom is here with me and helping me, cooking, cleaning, watching Perri so I can shower and nap, etc. She's really been a blessing this first week at home, especially since Craig isn't here to help. Today we went to the doctor for her check up and she's only lost one ounce since discharge Friday so she's now at 7 lbs. 3 oz, where her birth weight was 7 lbs. 12 oz. She is slightly jaundice so we had to get labs done to check her bilirubin level which showed slightly elevated levels so we have to have her in the sun atleast thirty minutes twice a day in her diaper. Mom took her out this afternoon and she immediately fell asleep from the warm sun. Other than that she is doing wonderfully and we go back Thursday morning to see the doctor to have them check out the jaundice. Also, her cord fell off last night! Yay!! It had been barely hanging on and then I went to change her last night and it was off! Fell off after only 5 days!

Tomorrow she'll be one week old and I can hardly believe it! It's gone by so fast and I am loving this little girl like crazy. Though my days revolve around feeding her, which has become quite tiring, its all so very worth it. I am feeling great, and recovering very fast. Im really not sore anymore and am moving around like normal and taking walks and such. A c-section was so not what I wanted for my birth but thankfully recovery has been easy so it's all okay. Below are some pictures of the past few days! Enjoy!
