Today is Macyn's one week birthday. I can't believe that she is already a week old! She has changed so much in so little time it truly is amazing. She is doing a lot better in this short period of time. She lost a little weight after coming home but now she is feeding like a champ and in a span of 2 days gained back 4 ounces which is really good news. She is still being tested for jaundice, she will have another weigh in and heel prick on Sunday but the Dr. says that her progress is good so he expects more positive results when we go in tomorrow. I can't wait for all of these tests to be done and over with! Every time she gets her little heel prick she cries like crazy and I feel so bad because I just have to sit there and watch.
She still won't sleep in the crib, needing to be held in order to stay asleep but hopefully when she matures a little more she will be able to stay asleep in the crib. She doesn't even like the Snuggle Nest. She is spoiled already I guess!
We can't wait for everyone to meet her. My mom, dad and sister are coming down tomorrow night and leaving Monday night, they are so excited. I feel bad b/c of the long drive but they are just too excited not to come. I can't wait! She will love them!
Hey, have you read Happiest Baby on the Block? I would most emphatically recommend that book. It might save your sanity and make the first 3 months really wonderful. Knowing the technique made me feel like the best mother in the world..and my babies never cried(unless they were hungry, of course, ugh).
