Alexa is settling in at home. We came home on Sunday and are adjusting well. We went on our first trip to the Doctor's office on Tuesday. Alexa is still a little jaundice and since she is small is struggling to latch and feed. She has lost 10% of her body weight already, which is concerning but we are working on her feedings. Today we went to the lactation consultant and she did gain 2 ounces since yesterday and talking to her. Alexa sleeps mostly, but in the past day has had wake periods where we can just sit and talk, not just feed. This is a good sign, and part of her coming early. Nights have been pretty good. Monday night she fussed a bit, but she just wanted to be held. Otherwise we are up a few times a night, but not bad.
There have been quite a few visitors (which is nice, but exhausting!), looking forward to tomorrow with only a quick Dr. visit and catching a few naps and maybe going for a walk in the Bob with Lexi. It is suppose to be another warm day in the 80's. I was thinking today it was nice not to be pregnant and miserable at school with it being so warm. Going to try to squeeze in a quick nap to get me through the night. Mom left to go to Madison today, she'll be back tomorrow night, but we are on our own tonight and tomorrow...YIKES! It has been really nice having her to help.
