Things are going well, but we are operating on not much sleep!
Here are some highlights (not comprehensive) since birth:
January 6
- Madeline is born at 8:28 am and stays awake for 3 hours straight!
- Family visits us and meets the newest member of the family.
- That night, we get about 2 hours sleep, as Madeline is up almost all night.
January 7
- A pediatrician visits and so does Dr. Marks
- Madeline passes her hearing test
- More family visits
- We get 1 hour of sleep that night. Definitely the worst night so far. Even the pacifiers don't work.
January 8
- Jessica is discharged by Dr. Marks and Madeline is discharged by Dr. Black
- We bring Madeline home around 2 pm. She sleeps through the car trip.
- We actually get several hours of sleep as we alternate our sleep schedules and get better at meeting Madeline's feeding and changing needs.
January 9
- 1st pediatrician visit with Dr. Allison. Everything goes smoothly (except for having to change her twice in the exam room!). Madeline lands at the 70% percentile in length, 30% in weight, and 50% in head size. Her next appointment is next Thursday.
- Madeline goes for her first stroller trip around the neighborhood. She sleeps through about all of it.
- A bit rougher night than the night before, but still way better than the hospital.
January 10
- Jessica is really getting the hang of breast feeding now and her milk is coming in.
- Brad runs out to some stores looking for smaller baby clothes since almost all her clothing is for 8+ pound babies and Madeline is now about 6 pounds 9 ounces (perfectly normal according to the Dr.)
- The night goes fairly smoothly, getting up every few hours and changing and feeding as requested.
January 11
- All of the morning is spent sleeping and feeding.
- Aunt Eirin has arrived to help!
