I forgot how quiet newborns are in the first bit of life. 😂 I will post pictures later but Miu Lynn was born at 2:35pm.. first contraction was at 7:50am. Lol was super fast and 100x better experience than with my son once the epidural was in and working. Before that it was not fun times. I give you ladies that do this naturally such mad props!
She weighed 6 pounds 13 ounces and is 18” long and born 38w+2. Last ultrasound on Wed estimated her at 6 pounds 12 ounces so pretty close!
She is pretty sleepy right now. Did get some nursing in earlier and her blood sugars are looking good! (I have gestational diabetes but was just diet controlled). And now she is just chilling on my chest sleeping. Her brother was not impressed and mostly just wanted to get into everything in the rooms I was in. But we shall see how it goes when we are home again.

omg the toes! I totally keep playing with hers. They are just so teenie!! 🤣 And yah, having my body back is nice but still isn’t entirely mine and the healing process is always a bit rough right after too. Didn’t miss this part of it!

Congrats!!! I'm so jealous she was so teensy!! My girl was almosy 9lbs and she was 22inches long. I feel like I got robbed of a newborn. 😂😂😂 enjoy your smush. God I already miss those first few weeks. She was bitsy even as a giant compared to now.

I know precisely how that feels! My son wasn’t quite as big at 8 pounds and 6 ounces but he only fit newborn clothes for like a week and he didn’t feel small! And now even though he is small he seems soooo huge compared to her. But at least she will get some wear in her newborn clothes as she is too small for them eve at this point. 😂

I’m so glad everything went well! Congrats on your little beauty. I love her name.

@flamingomom, Sure thing! Once things settle down here probably. And he is taking it much better than I thought he would quite honestly. Tries to comfort her when she cries, shows a lot of curiosity in her and for the most part seems mellower than he had been with his tantrums and what not this week compared to last. He is even sharing the boobs without complain which I totally thought would be an issue quite frankly.

I’m so happy to hear that. Aww you’re tandem nursing! So cool. I wish I could have done that but I have low supply issues so I weaned my daughter when I was pregnant. That way my son can get all the liquid gold for himself

@flamingomom, Wasn’t the plan to tandem but as we got closer to her due date I couldn’t just yank it away. He was just comfort nursing as I haven’t had an actual milk supply for months and months. Just colostrum but now that my milk came in it is a bit helpful to have two mouths to help out. 😂 But it is really challenging right now as she still is learning to nurse which doesn’t always leave the most comfortable spot for my toddler to try to be in. Lol

Congrats! My favorite part

Sleepy newborn phase? It is so weird to me since my son was a bit more alert as we brought him home at 1w. I just need to find the best thing she likes where I can put her down and she won’t cry right away. 🤣
