We\’ve made it through the first week! We had to take Lucy for a jaundice test yesterday (always on the weekend…), and she hasn\’t pooped since Tuesday. So… she has an appontment with the doctor this afternoon.
I\’m picking up my mom at the airport this morning. We\’ve had lots of help and food, but there\’s nothing like having your mom. She sees stuff that needs to get done - moms have special eyes:) I am very thankful for the timing… I really need her help. Things are going very well (OK, except for lack of poop and possible jaundice…), but it\’ll be nice to have reinforcements.
I am behind on other\’s posts and my own (in addition to laundry, and various other household tasks), but I anticipated that. Right now, I am just enjoying looking at and smooching on Lucy and keeping Joel and Livi from smothering her with their sibling love:)
I know the feeling. I had to take both the girls (by myself!) to get blood drawn in their first week. And then they went 4 days without pooping. Worried, we called the pediatrician, who reassured us that it was fine, sometimes they can go a week without poop, as long as there is no straining. Glad we made it through that!
It sounds like everything is normal for just having a baby. (I hope the no poop thing is nothing serious. She\’ll probably make up for it all at once!)
I agree - there is nothing like having your mom around. My mom is like that too. She takes care of things that I wouldn\’t even think of!
Enjoy those smooches - newborn cheeks are the best!
I am glad things are doing okay. And yes there is nothing like having your mom around.
I just reread how much Lucy weighted when she was born. Holy Smokes!! What a big girl!!
OH MY - how is it that I JUST NOW found this site?? Something else to do in all my free time now :) Love ya girl!!!
