Today was Sydney's 2 week checkup, and she now weighs 8lbs 6oz! A whole pound over her birth weight! So I guess breastfeeding is officially a success even though it hurts like nobody's business. After just a few days I switched to pumping and feeding from a bottle during the day and nursing at night. That's working much better for both of us.
She's absolutely perfect. She gives me good 4 hour stretches of sleep at night. In fact, last night she ate @ 1130 and woke up @ 330. I had to get up @ 630 to start getting ready for her appointment, so of course she got up too and ate shortly after that. So only 1 feeding last night during the night!
Big Sister loves "her" baby. She's very good with her, but we've had some challenging days with bad behavior in general. Today, however we seem to have reverted to pre-baby status. J-A has been so sweet and so affectionate today. No spankings so far!
Well, I just heard a poopie diaper being made, so I better get going before it turns into a whole load of laundry!
Have a great day!
