Well, we've made it through the first week of life here at home with Jesody and it's been wonderful. Of course, it's had it's ups and downs but we're figuring it all out.
Our bedtime has now changed to 8pm with a feeding and then out for about 3 hours. Then we wake up, change diaper, feed, burp and back down for another 3 hours, and repeat until about 5am. Then we wake up, change diaper, eat again and fall back to sleep until about 7 or 8am with fussiness in between so there really is no more sleep for mama after 5am. Our day consists of eating, changing diapers, snuggling, and repeating.
We've found that we go through a lot of bottles in a day span and find ourselves washing them often as we have a hungry hippo on our hands. She's already taking down 3oz at a feeding, sometimes more or less but eating good. Along with lots of bottles, there are a lot of diapers to be changed as well!
Everyday she seems to be more awake during the day, which is great because the first couple days we had our nights and days mixed up and we were wide awake at night and slept all day. I wish it would get a little more sunny out during the day though because this dreary weather and being cooped up in the house all day makes for an even more tired mama!
With every day, there's new things that happen but it mostly stays the same. We are so in love with our little miracle and we're enjoying every second with her as she'll only be this little for so long!
Until next week...
Thanks for reading!
