Liz' Life: 1 Week

 One Week

Sleeping: She sleeps most of the day. She is usually only up when I feed her and sometimes getting her to wake up to feed her is a challenge. She stays awake more at night on most nights.

Eating: Right now she is eating 1.5oz of breast milk and 1-2oz of formula at each feeding. This is to try to get her billi levels down.

Activity: Not much yet; a lot of sleeping mostly. When she is awake she is very quiet. She only cries when shes hungry. She moves her arms a lot and I love it when she stretches.

Likes: She likes to put her hands in her mouth which is really annoying when I'm trying to feed her.


Dislikes: She really hates taking baths. She cries through the whole thing.

First Doctor's Visit: She had her first visit on Friday. She had gained 6oz in just 4 days. Her ped said her lungs sound great. He also said that her head is a little small so we have to make sure it grows properly. Elizabeth wasn't born with Jaundice but she ended up getting it while we were still at the hospital so we've been going to the hospital to her checked every day since. At Friday's appointment her levels were going down. Because she still has Jaundice she didn't get her first shot. We go back tomorrow and hopefully she is back to her birth weight. She lost 9oz before we had left the hospital and as of Friday's visit is only 5oz away. Hopefully her billi levels have gone down. I'm interested to see how she takes getting her first shot.

Highlights of Week: Having family over to see our little girl.
