1. 5 days

2. Things seem to be going good. Her first pediatrician appointment is tomorrow so we'll see how she's doing weight wise. Her wet diapers have been good.

3. Nothing right now.

0-1mo:
This baby was sleepier than DD1 in the first 24 hours. My first daughter was waking me up from the get go in the hospital to nurse. This one just wanted to sleep sleep sleep and it was a process to wake her up to nurse. Waking up isn't a problem now... It definitely surprised me how different they were/are.

I SAH so I haven't pumped at all.

I wanted to be a vet or a zookeeper and I did indeed end up being a zookeeper. I worked as a keeper and educator before deciding to stay home.

Questions/concerns/cute stories to share?

1-3mo:
Getting through growth spurts okay? I'd say so. Even her cluster feeding isn't that bad.


If you're pumping, how is that going? When are you returning to work, or are you SAH? I haven't pumped yet - I will for the first time next week when my parents babysit while H and I go out for our wedding anniversary. I go back to work Nov 6, I'd like to build up a bit of a freezer stash before then so I'll probably start doing that beginning of Oct.


GTKY: when you were a kid, what did you want to be when your grew up? Did you do it? I wanted to be a lot of things - a vet, actress, singer, writer. I am neither of those things 😆

How old is LO? 1w 6d

How's everything going? Great so far- we are done supplementing and will see where she is weight wise tomorrow at her 2w appointment.

Questions/concerns/cute stories to share? I'm just loving these newborn snuggles!

0-1mo:
What is something about your newborn(s) that surprised you? She is just so chill. She doesn't ever seem so ravenously hungry like her sisters did. That's nice because it's so much easier to get her to latch! It was tough in the hospital though because she was so tired she wouldn't latch or take a bottle unless she really wanted to eat! At some points it took me 45 minutes to wake her up enough to eat.





If you're pumping, how is that going? When are you returning to work, or are you SAH?
I haven't started yet, but am working on getting a new pump through my insurance. It's such a hassle, I should have done it before delivery. I also decided on the S2 because I'll mostly be pumping at home or in the pump room at work that has plenty of outlets.

GTKY: when you were a kid, what did you want to be when your grew up? Did you do it? When I was little I wanted to be a carpenter. When I was older I wanted to be a lawyer or a doctor. Now I am a nurse. I tried premed, but did terribly my freshman year of college. I actually didn't end up going to nursing school until later when I was about 25. I really love it though, even though some days are rough.
