She gained weight!
Yay! She gained weight! Unfortunately, it took some formula but he wants us to wean off of that. We go back next week to see if she is still gaining. So here's the stats:
Birth weight 8 lb 7 oz,
Leaving hospital 7 lb 4 oz
2 days later 7 lb 10 oz
Next day 7 lb 8 oz (jaundice got us here!)
Then back up to 7 lb 10 oz and stayed there for a week with no weight gain.
Now she's up to 8 lb 1oz and 21 inches. She was 19 inches at birth.
I'm so excited! I got some Red Raspberry Leaf supplements today which are supposed to make a richer milk. I'm still taking my other supplements and need to get back to pumping which was hindered last night. Hopefully, we'll be able to do it without supplementing formula but if not, that's ok. I had to supplement through out my last child's nursing too.
On the homeschooling front...I'm looking at and reading about the Charlotte Mason approach and I've been looking at Ambleside Online curriculum. It's seems to be along the lines for what I have in mind for next year. We are going to the library after nap time and I'm going to get some books to start reading to the kids from the suggested booklists. I'm excited about next year but ready to finish this year. We've learned a lot about what we like and don't like this year, that's for sure.
Let me end all of this with a sweet picture of my beautiful baby girl taken today before our doctor visit. She had just had a bath so she's got a baby mohawk thing going on which I cropped out ~ heehee~. She's still a little jaundiced but it's getting better! Lovin' that baby girl...
