Oh how we are loving Capri! She is almost too good of a baby that sometimes it worries me a bit. She has cried a combined total of maybe 1 minute since she's been home. Really. She sleeps, and eats, and is only awake a few hours during the day. And while she's awake, she's perfectly content just looking around and taking everything in. She eats every 3 hours or so, but I usually have to wake her up to feed her. At night she goes closer to 4 hours, and still doesn't cry when she wakes up hungry. I usually hear her starting to smack her lips, pick her up, feed her, and she goes right back to sleep.
We took her to the doctor today for her checkup and she is already 7lbs 5oz (25th percentile) and 20" long (44th percentile). The doctor said they like them to be at their birth weight by 10 days, so since she's already surpassed that by quite a bit at 8 days, it's clear she's getting plenty to eat.
Pictures from her first bath. She looks so tiny in her little tub!
My recovery is going great. The only pain/challenge was nursing. But it's been a week and is getting tons better! She's a super fast eater (compared to Calin as a newborn anyway) which helps.
Little details:
Her hair is dark
She has teeny tiny blonde eyelashes
Her eyes are a dark blue/gray
She will only take a MAM pacifier. Juts like Calin. She loves that brand, but hates all the others.
My mom is here staying with us which has been a huge help! I'm loving that I don't have to do the dishes, or laundry, clean my house, or even run my own errands :)
It's a good thing Capri is so easy, because Calin has been a challenge lately. He deffinitely notices some changes going on, and hasn't been the happiest camper while adjusting to them. He LOVES Capri though. He's so soft and sweet with her, and gives her kisses.
Here he is holding her for the first time

WOW! What a good little lady she is, I am SO glad. Sleep is delightful and having a mom there to help out is even better! She is a good eater 7 lbs 5 oz. is WONDERFUL! May just hit a growth spurt and now barely fits her 0-3 month clothes, it's like she jumped right over that size.
Ty kinda did the same thing too with the changes. He had this crazy Stranger Danger and did not like ANYONE holding Maylee beside Matt or myself. Weird. Anyway I am SO glad you posted more pictures! It's fun that she has dark hair, because Ashlyn and May do too. Blond boys brunette girls I guess. :)
There is nothing cuter than babies. What a doll those two are.
Ah she's just precious! Glad to hear things are well with you and her. My 2nd was my easy baby too. And also my faster nurser. My kids only like MAM paci's too!
Okay is that not the cutest video of Calin kissing his sissy!?
Ah how sweet. When do I get to hold her? I hope we see you before she is all big and getting around.
I love that first picture! She just looks so precious! Glad to hear things are going well for you!
So sweet! I'm glad she is such a good baby! Will is that way too, he amazes me how content and sweet he is. He is sleeping through the night already and he is only 2 1/2 months! Hope it gets better with Calin, it's quite the transition for them! She is such a cute baby! She really looks different than Calin. That's how mine are too, they are so different. Glad you guys are doing well!
so sweet! congrats again. She's beautiful.
