Update on Cassia

I am posting this morning early while everyone is sleeping. It's nice and quiet here in the house, a rare moment for sure. I decided I would write some on the first few days with our precious new baby girl, Cassia.

She is doing great! She went from 8# 10.5 oz to 7# 8oz because I am nursing and babies naturally lose the weight waiting for the milk to come in. I took her back to the Dr for a weight check and she had gained up to 7# 13 oz. I was somewhat disappointed she had not past her birth weight but, at least she is gaining!

Nursing was hard at first. For some reason her latch was different on the right side. It was terribly painful and I had to sike myself out to even nurse on that side! I am so happy to report things are tremendously better!

Cassia is very strong and is very alert to things going on around her. Sometimes it seems she knows how to manipulate you into picking her up...lol! She has the cutest "fake" cry you ever heard, lol, and it works!

Everyone seems to be adjusting well. Carl loves the baby and so does Bella Grace. We just have to keep an eye on both to be sure they are not rough on her.

Over all everyone is adjusting to having a new baby in the house. It has been a precious time!
