Madeline is up to 8 lbs., 4 3/4 oz.! Way to go little girl! The nurse was very pleased with her weight gain over the past few days, and so were her mom and dad! We're still working on breastfeeding...Madeline has discovered the beauty of the bottle, so she prefers it. She still humors her mom and will breastfeed for a little while, but the smart little booger already knows what comes afterwards and looks for it. One day at a time.
We discovered last night during a diaper change that Madeline finally lost her umbilical cord!! Now, where said cord is located is a mystery, but it's gone nonetheless. It makes diaper changes a lot easier :)
I tearfully said goodbye to VieVie and Papa today after a wonderful 2 week stay. It's bittersweet. I will miss their help and having them around, but I know we're ready to take on parenthood and give this a whirl on our own. So, I thank you, Vie and Papa, for your support, for being on-call all day and night incase we needed you, for answering our questions and providing advice, for your positive affirmations, for helping us to feel like the best parents in the world, even when we doubted ourselves, for the good cooking, the cleaning, the laundry-doing, the ironing, for allowing us the chance to nap and shower, the laughter, the learning, for singing to Madeline, for being such attentive grandparents and for being amazing parents to Madeline's mom. I'm grateful for you and appreciate you more than words can explain. Come play again soon! xoxo
i think deacon got it! :) hope to see you tomorrow. xoxo
