The time has gone by unbelievably fast and I cannot believe that our sweet little girl is already a little over six days old ! She is what I would call the easiest most loving baby ever. Robert and I get 8 hours of sleep a night if we want with feedings in between. We co-sleep with Elodie and so it makes breastfeeding very simple. I just pull her over to me while I lay on my side, she eats and falls asleep, and then I can too ! She is the best little eater. We are having no problems and she is already gaining the little weight she lost back !
She is laying in my lap as I write and I don't have much time. Her skin is on mine and we are keeping each others body temperature warm and cozy. We sat in front of the window for a little over an hour today so that she got some natural sunlight. She is a little bit jaundiced and some time each day in front of the sun is what our midwives suggested. So, skin on skin for while each day while the sun shines down on us is fine by me :)
I better wrap this up before Elodie wakes up with a hungry belly ! That and, well...sorry to say, but I would rather be snuggling with her right now !
(only a few hours after Elodie was born)
So happy to hear everyone is home and well! How wonderful is co-sleeping? I miss it sometimes! I am so happy to hear that she is a happy, content little doll. I remember updating my blog with Axel asleep on my chest. Then one day he was too big for me to do both. My blog posts were the first to go :) Enjoy! 6 days old already, and before you know it, it will be 6 years! Love you.
