8 Days Old

Nurse practitioner, Gwen, gave Jeff and I high-fives today at Violet's follow-up visit. On Monday Violet's weight was down from 7lb 10oz to 6lb 8oz (over a pound) and we ended up in the ER, but today we weighed in at 7lb 3oz. At this rate we're on track to be back at our birth weight by her second week birthday, which is the goal. It felt great. She's getting the hang of breast feeding and it's making all the difference. We still have the challenge of waking her up for feedings (not an easy task), but on the up side, she sleeps like a champ.
