Just A Quick Update

Hello,I am trying to come up for air...during a feeding break...not complaining but just starting to understand the demands/time of mothering.Things have been great! Lola is the cutest baby I have ever seen. She sure makes it easy to have patience and to try to get creative with ways to calm her down. Here is a little update of the first few days of Lola's life:We have been to the doctor a few times for the her first well visit along with monitoring her for Jaundice/weight gain. Lola (and I) were given a goal on Wednesday to be at 6 lbs 9 oz and we met it with flying colors (she weighed in at 6 lbs 11 oz). She is doing so well that the doctor not does want to see her now for a month - sounds like a good thing to me (she is already trying to be an over achiever)! The breast-feeding has been a learning experience for both of us. I think we are doing pretty good for not knowing what either one of us is doing. I guess nature it on our side.Mom (Grandma B) was here this past week and she help SO much - I can confidently say that Lola would not be a breast-fed baby if it wasn't for Grandma B (THANKS MOM!) Even though we had a major heat wave while Mom was here, she kept me company during feedings, provided insight and pointers and allowed Tom and I to get the sushi and beer that I longed for during my whole pregnancy. It has now cooled off and the bay area is back to it's "goldy locks" weather. Tom and I are trying to get into a groove but "what Lola wants, Lola gets" - which is fine with me!Since Lola is not ready for prime time yet (doctor says she shouldn't be around others/crowds for 6 weeks) Tom and I are going to take her to the coast for a picnic lunch tomorrow. Car ride, feeding and back. Should be good for all of us!Nana (Tom's Mom) is coming over next week to hang out and bond with Lola. All the help has been a great relief for us! It is also really cool to see the everyone fall in love with Lola - you just can't help it!I hope you are all doing well and Gogee, I'm glad you have a perfect score during your doctors visit - I'm ALWAYS thinking about you!I will try to update you all as often as possible!
