So I haven't had time to write, go figure! The first few days were surreal. We jumped at every sound or lack of sound she made. She slept like a log for a few days. We had to wake her to eat during the night. Oh, those were the days ;-)
Josephine is doing great! She had her one month check up on Tuesday. She now weighs 5 lbs 6oz and is 19.5 inches long. The doctor doesn't have any concerns with her. She just needs to keep growing. Nursing is going great too. This was a big concern of mine. I have weaned her off of the nipple shield which means I can stop pumping. We are now enjoying the lack of sleep that all new parents are rewarded with.
Jesse has been home this whole time. He goes back to work after the holidays. That will be difficult for me but I'm so grateful for the time we have had as a family. With the snowy weather we have been shut up in our little house, all cozy with Josie. The first week we just sat on the couch and passed her back and forth. I still get sad sometimes to think about how much time my baby had to spend away from us at the beginning of her life. The more we get to know her, the harder it is to remember leaving her. I hope we don't ever have to leave her again.
She is sassy!
One month old!
And she's a fighter!
