5 Days Old

Your first wellness visit was today with Dr. Calk with Children's Medical Group at 2:00 p.m.

You are sleeping and nursing like a champ. Last night, I fed you at 12:30 a.m., 3:30 a.m., and 6:30 a.m. It is like clockwork! You are absolutely killing my right boob though. The pain is shocking when you nurse. I am reminded that nursing may actually be worse than childbirth because at least I know the pain of childbirth is going to end!

And, you sleep ALL the time, or so it seems. Your awake time is usually in the morning around 9-10 a.m. and in the evening around 8-9 p.m. This evening, you are wide awake at 11:30 p.m.

You are a one boob girl meaning you like to nurse off one boob at a time for each nursing session. As a result, during the day, you like to nurse pretty much every hour on the hour. But, you nurse very, very quickly, usually within 15 minutes. Very unlike your sister who took 45 minutes at a minimum. It seems like it took her just 45 minutes to figure out how to latch on.

You wore the cute outfit that Daddy bought for you from Target the other day to your doctor's visit. It is bright green with white polka dots and pink butterflies. Absolutely precious! He came home with it and said, "You can't send me shopping and expect me not to buy something for my girl."

This evening, you were intrigued by your Daddy's orange plaid shirt. He said you wouldn't stop staring at it.
