One Week
Time does fly by so fast.
Today Dashiell is one week old.
In the past week the swelling in his face has gone down, so that more and more we can see the little person, and he just gets cuter and cuter. I'm Biased Parent, hear me roar.
He's picking up a better sleeping and feeding pattern since my milk has been coming in, and as a result I've been sleeping more than 45-60 minute stretches at a time. Not lots more, but enough that I don't feel completely delirious all the time. He also hasn't been as fussy as he was on the weekend, when he'd stay awake for anywhere up to 7 hours without really being content with any one thing to put him at ease or to try to get him to sleep.
By Monday he had already gained 4oz over his birthweight, after being down 2oz on Saturday (normal post-birth weightloss). He's still eating like a champ, and a weigh-in on our own scale put him at 8lb or 8lb2oz today, but I'm not entirely sure how accurate it is. But it's possible that he's gained that much.
This evening the remnants of his navel cord came off, so thankfully we don't have that icky dried up little stump getting in the way of his diapers and we needn't worry about knocking it around accidentally.
One down, many more to go.
