First Week

It’s hard to believe Little E has been here for a week already! It’s been a busy one with a few trips to the pediatrician and lactation consultant due to some weight loss by Little E, but as of yesterday she is almost back up to her birth weight.

The WMD took two weeks off of work so that we could wade this new stream of parenting together and my parents came to visit for a few days. They were more than content to sit on the couch for four days and hold their first grandbaby. I think Little E was happy about that, too.

Waiting and waiting…

I’m officially three days past my due date now. I had a doctor’s appointment yesterday. No real progress since last week, so they’ve scheduled an induction for next Tuesday if Little E decides she’s too cozy to come out on her own. I would prefer not to be induced and let it all progress naturally, so hopefully she picks up on my vibe and moseys on out.

As part of my check up yesterday, they did an ultrasound to make sure that she’s doing alright in there. She scored an 8 out of 8 on the healthy baby scale, so I guess that means she’s doing fine. As part of the ultrasound, they did a few 3D scans of her face (can I just say that I love my ultrasound tech!!!) so we could get a sneak peek at what she looks like. Of course, now that she’s so big (8 lbs give or take a 1/2 lb), she’s a bit squished in there,  but it was still neat to see her. I’m just excited that within the next week, I’ll get to hold her in my arms!
