One Week New

Today is my due date, but Juliana is already one week old! I’ve spent the past week in absolute bliss. For the most part, Juli spends her time asleep on my chest. I spend that time planting kisses on her sweet little head. 

On Monday, we had her first pediatrician appointment. My bitty bear was all the way down to 6 pounds and 1 ounce. She was a tiny bit jaundice on Monday, so we had to go back on Wednesday for a follow up. By then, she was back up to 6 pounds and 6 ounces. All of those extra feedings definitely did the trick.

Nursing has been going well, although I kinda screwed myself by pumping between feedings. Now I have too much milk, and no desire to pump. 

Nights have been difficult, but for the past two, I’ve just been snuggling with her in my bed, and we’ve both slept great.

I’ve been terrible when it comes to photos. I don’t think I’ve used my real camera once since leaving the hospital. Occasionally, I’ll snap a few phone pics, but the quality is pretty terrible. I hope to remedy that soon.

Other than that, life has been uneventful. My parents are in town for a while, which has given me a chance to relax a bit. I’ve sucked at blogging as well as keeping up with other blogs, but that should change once John is back to work and my big girls are both in school.
