Settling In

Posted by Amanda

So Camila has been home with us for 6 days now and things are going really well. She is a pretty relaxed baby so far. She is very alert when she is awake and has very curious eyes... they are always wandering and looking at the room. Initially she was on an atrocious schedule of sleeping all day and being wide awake from 11pm until 3am and then passing out. That was fun. I woke her up often during the day to nurse and successfully switched her schedule to her falling asleep after eating at 10:30 and she then sleeps for 6 and a half hours! She wakes up at 5am and eats, then goes back to sleep. It is pretty awesome and she has followed this schedule the past two nights and right now it looks like she will follow the same one tonight, as well.

She had her first pediatrician appointment today and the closing note from the doctor was "She looks beautiful. Keep doing what you've been doing and we'll see you next week!". When I told her about her sleeping for 6 and a half hours straight at night she said "Well, she has gained 2 ounces since you left the hospital so... looks like you have a great schedule!" No concerns around that. She also got her blood drawn. She was none to happy about
that but got over it quickly.

Madison and Emilee fawn over Camila constantly and are having a blast
being big sisters. Madison likes to give people baby advice, lol. When Grandma Sue came over she said "She is looking at you like that because you're a new face." Which I know isn't true quite yet but it was cute to see her retaining baby knowledge and applying it ;-) Every time Camila makes a squeak both girls are at her said saying "Shhh. It's okay, Baby Girl. It's alright, Camila."

Anyway I am off to bed. I will share a picture of Emilee reading Camila a book:
