So Far, So Good

Eleven days old and, as far as I can tell, we haven’t done anything too wrong. They say the screaming that sounds like they are turning themselves inside out is normal.So she’s gotten past her little brush with jaundice and low weight. We think the heat really took it out of her. By the Friday after her birth she had lost a pound. So her pediatrician had her on a crash course of breast feeding and by Wednesday she was back up to 6 lbs. 12 ozs.Her feeding and sleeping schedule is pretty erratic. Sometimes she’ll sleep for 4-6 hours between feedings and other times she’ll want to eat an hour after the end of the last meal.We had our first pee-all-over-me incident the other day. It was classic, I had literally just changed the sheets on our bed (which is our temporary changing table). I started to change her diaper when she got real quiet and motionless and then it just happened. I just stood there laughing. Unbeknownst to me, the changing pad we were using was not waterproof. Well, at least I know the plumbing works.
