Baby Update

Well, its been awhile, as usual.

Adrianna is finally here and we could not be happier or more tired.

You can check out pictures at HERE.

Adri weighed in at 8lbs 11 oz and 19 inches long. She was and is absolutely perfect. Unfortunately she lost a lot of weight at the hospital, and has had a few rough days since being home, so we still are not up to birth weight, but she is eating like a champ.

She had her fourth pediatrician appointment on Friday. She weighed 8lbs 6 oz (which was 1 oz up from Monday, but 5 oz up from the previous Friday). She poops and pees like a champ (and sometimes gets both all over mommy) so the doctor isn't concerned about her slow gain, but would like to see her up to birth weight by this Friday, which is totally doable, since Adri is eating more than ever.

Adri's bilirubin numbers are in the safe zone, but we can still see signs of our yellow baby. She looks 100% better than she did when she was on her biliblanket.

It is absolutely amazing how fast they change and grow. A week ago all she wanted to do was sleep and eat. This week she is much more alert and "talkative". She is now focusing on our faces when we talk to her, which is awesome.


I'm sorry to those of you who have been calling for updates, and I fail to call you back. Please check this instead, as life is insanely hectic and we are still trying to figure out our way as a new family. Don't be offended if Matt and I don't call back right away as this is our first week without company as well as Matt's first week not working a million hours. We are attempting to recover from the fun and stress of visitors, while juggling household duties, doctors appointments, design projects, and computer issues. Please try to be patient with us, and remember what it was like when you had a newborn (for those of you who are moms and dads).

I will update this every Monday morning, and will try to post pictures throughout the week, but Monday will be our "sure-fire" day for Blog Updates.

Thank you all for your love and support as we raise our Munchkin.
