When we left the hospital Thursday, Audrey weighed only 6 pounds. Luckily, the doctor said this is normal for a breastfed baby and that she didn't lose so much that we needed to supplement. So, we strapped her into her car seat and took her home. It is both an amazing experience and terrifying to have your bundle of joy home all to yourselves. You just kinda stare at her and say "okay, what now?" Little do you realize that you've just started to understand what sleepless nights and poo'd diapers is all about.
We had Audrey's first check-up Tuesday, one week after she was born. She was back up to 6 lbs 10 oz which is comforting...she likes her "food". If she keeps this up, she could grow pretty fast! Considering how fast babies grow anyway, it is amazing to think she's already been here so long!
