judecorpDon't worry, we're all still here. I promise. :)
Things are busy. I thought the biggest challenge would be those "every two hour" feedings but honestly the toughest thing has been the constant monitoring. We've had to go to the pediatrician every day since Wednesday for weight checks (that's six visits in a row... and six copays), the hospital lab twice for bilirubin checks, and back to the birth center today to sign our birth certificate. Oh, and I got a thyroid check today too just in case it's contributing to the milk issues.
We've gotten a couple of really sweet presents in the mail, which always makes everything fun. Thank you so much to![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
hopemcg and meglett for finding us a copy of Todd Parr's baby book (YAY!!), to skatured for the adorable monkey blanket, books, and washcloth, to rockymtnhigh and bec4joy for the onesie, sunglasses, sun hat, and info on postpartum sex life, to thatpatti for this really cool rainbow-colored nursing necklace that is just the neatest thing ever, and artemis44 for coming by to say hello and bringing totally cute shirts and a bunch of milk-enhancing pharmaceuticals. And we've had a couple of visitors: Jen's coworker Jesi who brought goodies, Eryn and Amy who brought eggplant parm and spaghetti (yum!), and my aunt and grandparents.
Mostly we've just been really busy. And hot. It's hot right now.
Sometimes I just can't believe that the hospital gave us a baby. What were they thinking??!?!?
