So far, Sofia is a wonderful, content little baby. She has yet to put up a fuss about anything. Because she is still a newborn, most of her day is sleeping, but in the past couple days she has been awake more. At first Nathan and I thought she looked just like Linnea did when she was a baby, but we're beginning to see her own look. She already looks bigger than when she was born. I took this breastfeeding support class to get some tips on how to make it hurt less at Birth and Beyond on Capital Hill. I sat in a room of women all with little newborns nursing Sofia and getting help from an RN. We weighed our babes before and after feeding them. Sofia took in a whopin' 3 1/2 ounces! No wonder she's growing so fast! She's just over 7 1/2 lbs, up from 6 1/2 when we left the hospital.
Sofia eats every 2-3 hours, so my life is now a cycle of eating and sleeping. Sofia has slept 3-4 hour stretches at night, so I'm getting some sleep. She's getting faster at eating too.
Thanks to Sylvia, mom, Mikki and Hailey I have had some time alone with Sofia. While Linnea plays with family I've been able to get some naps in. Linnea is transitioning well into being a big sister. She asks to hold Sofia and helps me. We're off to a great start.
