2 week update!

Just a quick post, as I am in dire need of a nap. Sorry I still haven't posted new pictures. She is growing, growing! I weighed her at Ballard House on Tuesday - with a full belly, full diaper, and a full outfit on, she weighed 8 pounds, 5 ounces. So I figure she's about 8 pounds!

She's sleeping about 2 - 2 1/2 hours at a stretch, eating about every 2 1/2 - 3 hours, and still pooping all the time. Better out than in, I say.

Today she is not falling asleep easily, so I haven't had a chance to rest, myself. She is asleep right now, so that is where I am headed.

Again, sorry no pics yet. Just need to coordinate efforts to upload them from the camera.

First week update

Hi everyone!

Things are going pretty well here. Vi is sleeping, eating, and pooping, so all systems are in working order. I'm trying to remember to nap when she does...but as you see, I am taking advantage of her napping to do other stuff like updating this silly blog. :-)

As of Friday, at her first pediatrician's appointment, she weighed 7 pounds, 8 ounces - that's a quarter pound over her birth weight. She's a good eater.

I'm all healed and I have more energy that I thought I would. I think the hardest part is waking up in my deep sleep stage to tend to her needs - that's when I feel the most exhausted. We've been getting out of the house a lot already. Dan and I took Vi and Riley to the park the other day for a walk and some fetch. Vi and I had our first solo outing yesterday, attending a "Blossoming Newborns" class at Ballard House. She was the littlest one there. :-)

Dan has returned - very reluctantly- to work. He would so much rather be home with the baby and me - especially the baby!

Cutting this post short - little one is ready for me.

-Lindsay
