Sarah's first week at home, that is. I guess it's more important that Sarah survived than the rest of us. Each night has gotten better. She is waking up every 3 hours to eat and typically either goes right back to sleep or will sit quietly in her bouncy seat. This allows me to drift in and out of sleep checking on her often until she falls back asleep. We have gotten into a little bit of a routine. After her 6 or 7 am feeding she will usually sleep until I wake her up which is about 10 or 11. So, after Kevin and the boys leave I can get some good sleeping in. The only bad thing is I am eating breakfast at lunch time and then lunch in the late afternoon. I'm not generally hungry for supper. This could be a good weight management plan, but I think I'd rather sleep during normal sleeping hours.
We went back to the doctor on Monday for a weight and Jaundice check. She weighed in at 8 pounds, 8 ounces and her coloring looked better. She now weighs an ounce more than she did at her birth.
It has taken a week, but I can now wear my tennis shoes and my rings. Of course, I am still wearing my maternity clothes but they are definitely getting looser. I'm ready to get out of the house but am scared of all the germs, so I think Sarah and I will just stick to our daily walks when the weather is nice.
When Jackson and Adam got home today we all stayed outside enjoying the beautiful day. Sarah woke up around 4:30 and stayed awake until 7:00. I think this is a record! I'm hoping maybe this means she will sleep better tonight.
