There is no way something that small has created something that . . . eck!!! I swear all I am doing is changing diapers. I believe I am doing that more than feeding her and she eats 10 times a day, more if she is going through a growth spurt.
Being home is definitely much harder than being at the hospital. I am ready for someone to bring me my lunch, remind me to take my pain meds before I start hurting, and clean my room. Why do they make it so easy in the hospital. I almost want them to make me fend for myself so that when I get home it is not such a shock. The thing that I did miss was the rolly crib. I really missed the rolly crib. She was so easy to cart around!!! I think God heard my prayers because on the second day at home one of Cory's co-workers came over with a bassinet for me to borrow and IT ROLLS!!!! I was beyond excited.
Our little one lost a lot of weight in the hospital, too much almost. She lost almost 10% of her body weight. =( They were dangerously close to giving her a supplement to help her gain. But do not fear "Heifer Lindsey" is here! I got home and started pumping to make sure that she was getting enough milk at each feeding since she would fall asleep every time she would nurse. After experiencing pumping I really need to find a way to apologize to every milk cow out there. That is not the most comfortable feeling. I was waiting for someone to slap me on the butt and move me down the line. At least when the cows are being milked they get to eat. I still have not mastered the art of the pump. We went in for her appointment after being sent home from the hospital and she was 7lbs 6ozs. "Heifer Lindsey" saves the day again! After her 2 week appointment she weighed in at 8lbs 6ozs and 21 1/2 inches long.
