Well, Mila had her 3 week check up this morning and is growing and doing just great!!
I havent been able to write much because she really keeps me busy!! Its been a little difficult at times, but I think things are getting on track now. Ill just share a few things about her first few weeks now.
-The first 10 days we had a hard time getting her to grow, actually. I am not making enough milk to feed her, so she was losing weight quickly. In the end we resorted to supplementing her with formula, which I never imagined I would need. Her pediatric nurse said it was definitely necessary and it has really helped. She lost about a pound quickly, but has now gained one and a half pounds back! She is getting herself on track.
-Her cord came off after only 5 days. And thank God because it really stunk! It wasnt infected, but you would have thought it was. I called it her stink stump and was glad to see it go!
-She loves to have baths, but we only do it 2 times a week. Not like shes getting dirty.
-She hardly ever cries, mostly when its time for her bottle because she gets frustrated.
-I have had a horrible cold, the kind where you completely lose your voice, and she got it but after only 48 hours she was fine again!
-She only poops once a day and it has to be daddy. she has never pooped for me... not that I mind.
-She has started to smile and giggle when its breast time in the morning. It is possibly the cutest thing on this Earth, and maybe other planets.
-She hates tummy time but has a really strong neck. Its a mystery to us.
-She loves to be held, thats already looking like a problem. More for me than her, because I LOVE to hold her!
-She is a TV addict. If its on and she knows it, she wants to be facing it and goes into almost a trance.
-She gets really excited when you kiss her open mouth. Mostly thats a daddy thing too. She puked in my mouth last time I tried.
-She frequently squeels and sounds like a horse. Then she will growl like a dragon. Its adorable.
Ok thats all I can think of now, but in a word, shes adorable!
