Day 5

We are happily finding our groove over here.  Chio is now nursing approximately every 3 hours.  Christian and I take turns napping.  The constant flow of food from friends has helped tremendously and we are eating well!  It's lovely.  We've had one or two visitors a day which has been nice.  Especially since they remind me about what is normal and they help to keep me calm.

Here are some pictures from our first pediatrician visit.  We had planned to use the sling to carry Chio, but in the end Christian didn't trust that she was comfortable so he decided that he wanted to just carry her in his arms for the short bus ride.  It was touching to see him rock the pink blanket and how many people were eager to give up their seat for him.

The pediatrician was impressed that Chio was feeding so well, had NO sign of jaundice, and has already gained 5 ounces since birth.  My little girl is already 7 lbs!  She already has yellow poops!  She didn't scream at the doctor!  I'm so impressed by this new person...
