We have started to settle into a routine! I am now getting some sleep (AMEN!) and everyone is doing great! Josh and I are getting good at reading her cries..."I'm hungry" vs. "I'm tired" etc. All of our visitors have come and gone. It's back to normal. Except a new version of normal. The dogs are getting used to their new sister as well. Mugsy is always concerned when he hears her crying. Monty could care less about her unless she is being held by me. Then he goes into sad dog mode. I try to make sure to give them some time each day too.
This week Juliette went to the pediatrician for a checkup. She has gone from 5 lbs. 10 oz. (her discharge weight from the hospital) to 6 lbs. 7 oz. today. At our lactation appointment three days ago she was 6 lbs. 4 oz. Not too shabby for only 15 days worth of eating! About an ounce a day! She has also grown from 18 3/4 inches long to 20 inches long. She is eating like a little piggie. She consumes between 2-3 oz. at each feeding. Her next pediatrician appointment isn't until April. At that appointment, she gets immunizations. Daddy will have to take her to that appointment since Mommy will not be able to watch!
Last week Juliette had her newborn photo shoot by Meghan who was also our wedding photographer last year. The pictures we have seen so far are soooooooo adorable. We should get them back in a week or so! I can't wait to put together her birth announcements!
So far, so good! We are catching on to this parenting thing pretty well so far!
