\"\"<\/a>Eve and I went in for her 4 day checkup and
\n lactation visit today. All is well. She’s eating like a champ
\n and weighed in at 7lbs 14oz (8lbs 3oz at birth, 7lbs 9oz at
\n discharge). Babies are supposed to regain their birth weight by
\n 2 weeks and I suspect she’ll be there by tomorrow!<\/p>\n

We are settling in nicely here. The first
\n night was a bit rough because Eve wanted to nurse every hour
\n and I was exhausted!! But I took a few naps the next day and
\n she slept much better the second night (milk came in by then so
\n she was more satiated). Alan took Lex to gymnastics yesterday
\n and we all went out grocery shopping in the afternoon. We gave
\n Eve a plug in the car and at the store. A little earlier than
\n recommended (they say wait 2-4wks), but I figured it would be
\n ok since she is such a great nurser. I mentioned that at the
\n lactation appointment today and was told that it was a-ok :)<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Lex is adapting well (so far) to Eve’s presence.
\n He likes to point her out and poke her and he gives her little
\n kisses. We’ve taken to reading stories while I nurse. Lex will
\n bring his books and sit next to me and turn the pages. It’s
\n sweet. Sometimes he wants baby doll to read with us. Alan is
\n home now for a few weeks too, which is a HUGE help! I can’t
\n imagine doing it alone. He took Lex to storytime today and
\n takes care of the bathes and hauling Lex up and down the stairs
\n and all that good stuff. And he takes care of me :) We’re a
\n lucky little family. <\/p>\n

I added a few
\n movies to the YouTube box down the side and here is a cute one
\n of the whole family at the hospital.
