nate received a gift in the mail. he used proper letter cutting techniques and used scissors...he was very excited.see below!
i spent more time on the couch, snuggles and cuddles. my butt has made a permanent dent from all this sitting on it. haha
my kids. nate being silly
uncle lego and eliana...i think she's working on a poop. ha
see!! he was very excited. thank you nana and papa plumps. they played the games right away and ate the chocolate too!
monday's weigh in. bec eliana lost too much weight, we were released from the hospital on sat but had to return to the clinic on monday for a weigh in, the lactation consultant was to follow us until she regained her birth weight.
all babies like 99% of them lose weight after being born but you have to stay with in the 10% or you have to stay in the hospital or come back for daily weigh ins. we had to do this with nate, it caused a lot of stress and heart ache, frustration and another problem to deal with with nursing.
i was stressed about going. so we went in and had her weighted, she did go up a bit but we had to go back today.
guess what? my milk is in! i am nursing like a champ and eliana has gained almost ALL her weight back and we do NOT have to go back
the lactation consultant was BLOWN away by how well we are doing....not to shabby from someone who struggled SO much with nursing and nate!
now to keep doing what i am doing, not stress and enjoy!
i love nursing!
and to top that all off, i just pumped enough milk for chris to feed eliana tonight while i sleep 5 hours straight! and NOT use formula. i am one happy mom tonight
(not that there is anything wrong with formula! i just really wanted to nurse this time around and not go through what i went through with nate)
