Milestones: She was back to her birth weight at 8 pounds 6 oz. 

Sleeping/ Eating: Still up a lot a night at least three times for extended period of times. My mom and Tyler were still taking turns for the night shift. I was able to come home from the hospital on Saturday, but still very weak and tired and needed sleep.

Clothing: Newborn- we had to go out and get her a few more pjs that fit since all of the 3 month ones were huge. It was fun to get out to Carter’s and Old Navy and look at all the baby stuff.

Avery’s Favorites: She really liked just being held and falling asleep on people.

Things I want to remember:  It was such a huge help to have my parents here an extra week and her auntie Molly. I still wasn’t feeling completely myself yet and had to nap. We spent the week mostly hanging out with Avery and resting. Since I didn’t get to see her much the first week I was just soaking in all the snuggle time and learning everything about her. Her umbilical cord fell off around day 14. We took her to her two week doctor visit and she had to have four pricks to get blood and she was screaming and wiggling and it made me so sad for her.

What we did this week: We went to a lactation appointment and it was my first time driving her and taking her in her carseat and stroller.  We also went shopping for a few more newborn outfits and to lunch. Avery is really good in her carseat  and she just sleeps and enjoys the ride. Avery’s cousin Silas came to visit her and they really didn’t notice each other at all, but it will be fun to see them grow together. We celebrated Jason and Molly’s birthdays at our house at the end of the week. I felt a little back to normal.  We had pizza and apple crisp, oh so good after all that terrible hospital food.
