Good Gain

Yup!
The pediatrician appt yesterday went great!
My milk came in Tuesday and she gained 5 oz in 2 days!
Praise God!
There was nothing better for me to see than a full belly on my little girl!
I felt like I could finally breathe.
I felt like I was holding my breath for days.
I know lots of babies lose weight in the first few days/week.
But since my milk didn't come in until day 7, it was great to see that gain in 2 days!
I found out from my lactation consultant, who happens to be a great friend of mine's mom, that my milk was more than likely delayed b/c of the placenta issues I had and until the very last of my placenta passed, my milk wouldn't come in.
So we are all good now!
She's an eating champ!

Here are some cute photos Josh took on Day 8 & 9...yesterday.
This is the look of satisfaction after a good meal!
Finally!

And today we went to a sweet local photographer friend of mine who does AMAZING newborn work for
her newborn session and some family photos.
They turned out amazing!
She even let us take some of our own so we could have some to immediately play with and post while she worked on her processing of them.
I will post those tomorrow!
Until then...
I can't stop sharing our beautiful girl with the world...
So enjoy!
