Nina update: she's amazing. As of midnight last night she's only lost 3 ounces. Her birth weight was 7lb 14oz. So far, her weight loss is less than 2%. She is feeding, pooping, and peeing. Bonus points when she does it on mommy. She loves her fingers, mommy, and daddy.
Nina rarely fusses but certainly lets us know when she's displeased. She does not enjoy her bassinet or having clothes put on.
She loves stretching out but is most content when she is swaddled. When sleeping next to mommy, Nina will sleep in 3-4 hour stretches.
She's beautiful. She has a couple of long fingernails and has scratched her face a bit. I didn't bring anything to trim or file them. I am not hiding them from her because she uses them to self soothe. She is getting better about finding her hands to suck on and though she scratches herself less, she grips her face to keep her thumb in her mouth.
Jack came to visit today. He was a little more interested in Nina and mom than his first visit. He was excited to see me at least. He was well behaved and adorable as ever. I can't wait until I'm home and can love on him again. I miss him so much.
The last couple of weeks of pregnancy were very uncomfortable for me. I had a lot of pelvic pressure and pain. I am so grateful that Nina is finally here and that I'm able to move around again. Of course, now I have incision pain to deal with! But, it's such a comfort knowing that she's here and safe and happy.
