I forgot to add her birth weight. She came out 8 lbs, 13 oz and 21 inches long. By the time we left the hospital though, she was down to 8 lbs, 1 oz. We've been struggling with the nursing thing, but after a couple of consultations with the lactation specialist, we think we may have things better under control! She is definitely a spitfire!
We went back to the hospital today for an n-billi test. This determines the level of jaundice. She is still within the normal range, though she does appear to be pretty jaundiced. In this case, doc says it was probably because my blood type is different from her's. Wednesday I go to have my staples removed from the c-section. A busy week for sure! Next week, she has more lab and we both go for our 2 week check up.
We are adjusting better each hour and each day. I am so thankful for my mom being here to help in the middle of the night, especially since John has to go back this week and has a pretty important week coming up. I'm trying to nap as much as possible, so that's what I'm headed to do now! Thanks for checking in!
