Claire's Nana has been down all week helping out with everything and going with us to the doctor/lactation/shopping. She'll be her next week too, and then after that mommy is on her own (until Nana decides she can't stand being away from her grandbaby). She's been working on baby clothes to get her smocked-wardrobe started. So far we have a really cute bonnet and by the end of today should have a dress to match. G-daddy has been down this weekend to visit and has been teaching Claire everything there is to know about golf. He loves playing with her and being baby paparazzi, he's all over the pictures.
We went to the pediatrician this week, and Claire is back up to her birthweight (5lb 14oz) within the first week, so we're happy about that, although it's probably mostly from the supplemental formula she's been getting. She (and I) have been getting better with the nursing thing, she actually nursed twice today without wanting any supplemental milk or formula, so something must be going right! We go back to the pediatrician for her 2-week checkup on Wednesday, so we'll see then how much she's gained. I can't tell any difference, but also couldn't tell a difference when we were in the hospital and she got down to 5lb 5oz, so I'm not a very good judge. It is funny to see her next to other babies, it makes us realize what a tiny little peanut she is, by herself she doesn't look that small, but next to other babies she really is little!
Here are some new pictures!
