3 Weeks Old!

Maybe we are a little obsessed, but I can’t help but share more pictures of her, now that she is officially 3 weeks old! I know that many have said to savor every moment, so that is what we are trying to do! She is growing up fast, so we want to make sure we capture it all!

Actions: Mazy now smiles and can coo when she is excited!

Food: Eats every 2-3 hours. I do not have to supplement very often anymore, which makes feedings much easier! I did not realize how much my diuretics were effecting my milk supply – plus it didn’t help that milk isn’t fully “milk” until 10-14 days. I feel we are on the upswing, as feedings are not a battle every time. Of course there are up and down days, but I know that is normal. I am hoping to stick with breastfeeding, in hopes that as I ween off the diuretic, that it will only get easier and easier.

Sleep: Mazy sleeps in about 2-3 hour increments. One night she slept for 4 hours straight, but that was the only time. I about panicked when I looked at the clock, but realized it was just fine. Dan does do a feeding with a bottle if he doesn’t have to get up really early in the morning, which is such a blessing!

Me: I feel I am back to normal Kristin, which means I am a normal person recovering from a delivery who happens to have a leaky valve. I do not feel the valve is effecting me like it used to, buti am just more tired, which can be assumed having just had a baby too. I think I look more normal too!

She has been quite fussy the past two days and we are not sure why, but we are thinking maybe she is a little colicky or is going through a growth spurt. As hard as those fussy moments are, we can’t help but fall deeper and deeper in love with her! Here is why:
