Today was a complete turn around from yesterday and we are so excited. The feedings went really well through the night and all day. She is back to the sweet, sweet baby that we had the first three days of her life. We took her to the doctor too and she had put on 7oz by this morning, he thought that might be a record! We will take her back on Monday and probably be able to cut back on the frequency of the feedings.

We have been feeding her every 2 hours through out the day and every 3 hours at night. She sleeps right up to her feedings and if she does wake early it is by about 5-10 minutes. We even saw her smile today. A happy baby is such an amazing feeling.

The pumping is a bit challenging. I have to pump every time we feed Lorelai so it is a little overwhelming. If I want to feed her then it takes about 30 minutes, then I have to pump for 30 minutes and by then I only have an hour before we begin the cycle again. Most of the time I let Joe or my mom feed her while I pump so that it makes it go a little faster but then I miss out on the bonding. It is nice for Joe and my mom to be able to bond with her in that way. Soon I will be back to the breast feeding and the mommy bonding.
