Coranelle has been out for 1 week and 1 day. It seemed to fly by! She is doing well and growing and enjoying her little life. Ryan went back to work part time this week ( Mon, Wed and Fri). It is sad to be home without him, as he has been just phenomenal! He is a great dad and has a special touch with Coranelle. He has been getting up for one nighttime feeding to burp and change Coranelle after I feed. She loves her daddy!
Yesterday, she was like an eating machine! Is there a growth spurt at 1 week? She would only go about an hour or hour and a half in between feedings and was just sucking away! It wore me out a bit! Hopefully she is gaining her ounce + a day! I think her cheeks are filling out.
On Monday, I ventured out for my first walk alone with her. She did awesome. Then, we went to target together. Doing things alone with her for the first time is a bit scary, but she did great. I got the carseat all figured out and am working on getting her all changed and fed before outtings. That takes a long time sometimes! But, I am happy that I can breast feed and that I am getting the hang out it. She is too! She has a little blister on her lip from all of her hard work during feedings.
We are just really enjoying our family. I still look at her every hour in awe of how precious she is. (even when she is screaming because she hates baths and diaper changes).
I hope that you are all doing well. Thanks for reading and happy Wednesday!

Thanks for your comment! Leah seemed to go through some sort of growth spurt around a week too. The breastfeeding is still kinda rough, we're thinking that going to a bottle will probably be the best decision for everyone, but oh well, at least we tried :) Hope you guys are doing well!
