One week old...


Ok, so technically we're one day past the one week mark, but hey, who's counting, lol. Violet is doing awesome, and Livi is doing amazingly wonderful with her! We're still having nursing issues, so I am continuing to pump, and we are using formula to supplement. I'm much more upset about this then I ever thought I would be though. It sucks. I just keep telling myself that thousands of kids are raised on formula every year and they are fine (lol) but I guess it never crossed my mind that V wouldn't be a nurser. We had her follow up appt yesterday for her weight, and she's doing much much better! (Born at 7 lbs 15 oz; left hospital at 7 lbs 4.5 oz; on Saturday had a home nurse come over and she was only 7 lbs 1.5 oz. We needed to get weight on her!) Her new weight at the Dr's was 7 lb 10 oz, go V! Last night she even slept 4.5 hours straight, yay! But pumping sucks. Really really sucks. I keep trying the nursing thing, and she latches, but only for a second or two, then roots again. This continues until she just gives up and cries. :( But we keep trying. And Livi is so awesome with her :heart: She loves to hold her, change her, feed her, etc. She is so in love with her, and she's the one that gets V to smile most of the time. It's adorable.
