Since coming home from the hospital she is sleeping, eating, and pooping....what a life! The first two nights home were very tiresome. She was up about every 2 hours wanting to eat or just making noises. We thought she was SO quite in the hospital, um yea, not. She grunts a lot and not only when she is filling up her diaper. She keeps me up some at night because she makes so much noise but honestly there is some comfort in hearing noises. When they are so quite, you start to get worried!
I am breastfeeding. I did have mastitis on Memorial Day (a few weeks after she was born)...that is the WORSE feeling ever. I would much rather give birth again. I felt like I had the flu x 10 (i'm assuming because I have never really had the flu). She has had 2 bottles of formula and drank them ok but prefers my milk. During the day she eats every 2 1/2-3 1/2 hours and at night she has been great eating every 4 hours, yay!
Gage LOVES her. At first he didn't pay her much attention besides a kiss here and there. Now he pays her more attention and loves to tickle her feet and "cova her up". He can be rough but doesn't realize it. I can't wait to see them interact with one another when she starts smiling and talking! Lyla has no idea how tough she is gonna have to be to hang with Gage, ha.
Lyla is still in newborn diapers and clothes. She is tiny. We went for a check-up at 2 weeks and she was 6 lbs, 10 oz. We don't go back until 2 months but I am guessing she is over 7 lbs by now.
She gets the hiccups a lot. Sometimes gripe water works but most of the time they just go away. She loves to stay curled up when being held on your chest and likes to be held...oh lawd. She will lay in the swing for a little bit and definitely likes the bouncy seat more than Gage did when he was little. She doesn't spit up as much as Gage did but she will do it from time to time.
We love her to pieces :)
