We are on a different feeding program now, which is working out well. I am still trying to do a small amount of breast feeding (to remind her how and to prevent a lot of soreness), feed her formula, and pump any extra she didn't get out (to feed her later). We have rented a hospital grade pump in hopes it will help bring in my milk. We will see how this goes; we are giving it another week.
Evelyn is off the billibed! Her jaundice has gone away, and she is back up to her birth weight. We are all happy about this!!
Also, her check up at the orthopedic doctor went well. Her left hip is considered "loose" but not "unstable". She will have a follow up appointment to get an ultrasound in a month. The doctor is optimistic it will fix itself.
We had a funny experience at Babies R Us the other day. We stopped by to pick up a few items, but Evelyn needed to be changed while we were there. I took her to the changing room. Poop explosion. Whoa. As I lifted up her feet and hips to wipe her, she peed. Pee went all over her onsie, the changing table, the dirty diaper. I had to strip her down, give her a little "bath" with wet wipes, and put her in a new diaper. Not predicting this type of naughtiness, I had not put a spare onsie in the diaper bag. Evelyn spent the rest of the shopping trip in just a diaper. Lesson learned.
Evelyn helps us keep our sense of humor.
Merry Christmas! I hope you keep your sense of humor this holiday season and enjoy the small things.
