Life Is Beauitful!

Ella Grace - 3 days old!

Ella is adjusting to the outside world so well. She is a super sleeper. She has pretty much put herself on a 3 - 4 hour feeding schedule. At times I still have to wake her so she'll eat. My milk has come in now so she's getting fuller than she was before. She's also spitting up a little now, but that's because she prefers to burp when Daddy burps her. She barely cries at all and when she's does it's a really soft cry. We took her to the doctor yesterday for her first check up. She did lose some weight while we were in the hospital...she went down from her birth weight of 8lbs 10.1oz to 7lbs 14.5oz. Yesterday at her check up she had already started to go back up and her weight was 7lbs 15.5oz. The doctor was a little concerned because by her color...he thought she might be a little jaundiced so we went down to the lab and they took her blood and did a test. The doctor called us back and she's just fine so she doesn't need to go in for light therapy. Next week we do need to take her back to the doctor for a weight check to make sure she's still gaining. We are enjoying our sweet newborn girl and adjusting to a new normal at home.
