1 WEEK OLD!!!

I am one week old today :)




Just been to see "Dr Dan" and he said her jaundice levels are going down and she has gained 3 oz so is now 2 oz off her birthweight. He said we got an A+ for baby care, funny how proud and peacock like that makes one feel ha ha....He said keep doing what we are doing :) We are feeding 3 hrly during day and 4 hrly pretty much at night, he said now we can push it to 4-5 at night and next week IF she is at her birthweight and IF (big big IF) she wants to sleep we can let her wake up not us wake her up in the night as we have been doing for feeds...Today we are changing over to UK milk Aptamil so fingers x on that one...

We have been doing lots of skin to skin and she loves her swing and being in her nappy on our laps kicking her little leggies about :) She ADORES her Daddy and Daddy has been amazing from the man who pretty much wouldn't hold a baby as he was too scared to being ALL in. He adores her right back.
Her hair is getting blonder, in fact she looks like she has some serious highlights!
She has had 2 trips to the Dr, and Wallgreens and one to the Mall where we bought her 2 suits that actually nearly fit in Macy's.

She has these DARK blue/grey eyes (wonder if they will stay or go hazel like Daddy) and Daddy's long eyelashes (yes) and his pouty lips, think we are going to need a shotgun for when she is a teenager ha ha!

We have loved all our skyping/facetime with family and besties, the support has been amazing....
We got sent some lovely cupcakes last night by a work friend of M's.
