4 Weeks
Today Bailey is 4 weeks old! Time moves too fast! However, I feel much more able to enjoy her tininess this time around. I was SOOO sleep deprived with Brooklyn, and let’s face it, your first is always stressful. I haven’t really slept in 3.5 years, so I guess the sleep deprivation isn’t as obvious this time around? Bailey is FINALLY starting to wake up more, and is nursing on both sides really well. She was up to 8 lbs 1 oz last week. Almost half a pound which was great! We’ll see what she weighs this week. I’ve graduated from outpatient clinic visits at the LC to attending their weekly BF support group. May I just say it dawned on me that I am the ONLY second time mom there…sigh. Oh well! I am SO happy to be nursing this kiddo successfully! She’s such a sweet little soul. She’s very quiet and hardly ever complains. She loves her momma to hold her and feed her and put her to sleep. She is also crazy strong. She has rolled over TWICE! Once from back to tummy, and once from tummy to back. That really kind of stresses me out! She’s not nearly as active as Brooklyn, but she is stronger IMO. Which is kind of scary because Brooklyn did everything just about as early as babies do. When she decides to wake up, she is very alert. Here’s some photos from today:
Happy New Year to everyone!!!
Oh looks at those eyes! Even though she has dark hair she looks a lot like her big sister. So so glad she is doing better eating.
She is so beautiful! Her eyes are gorgeous. Great job on sticking with nursing. It's so so hard at first, but it's so good for them, and good for your momma heart too =)
