So I've finally found some time to post. Chloe is doing very well and is such a sweet baby. She had her first dr's appt today. She was 7 lbs 2 oz at birth and was 6 lbs 11 oz when discharged on Sunday. Today she was 6 lbs 15 oz, so her pedi was very pleased. Ideally, they should return to their birth weight by two weeks, and/or gain an ounce a day. I had an appt today, also. My staples had to be removed. It was a bit more painful than I remember. The nurse said that a couple of them were twisted in!
I've been feeling pretty good, but I'm still taking motrin. I think I might need it for just another day or so. Chloe is doing great with bfing. I feel like that's all I do. She nurses at least every two hours. Sleep could be better. She sleeps great if someone is holding her. We've given in to co-sleeping already, b/c getting in and out of bed to get her out of her cradle was wearing me out.
Her big sisters are in love with her. They're always asking to hold her. And they fight over who is going to "help" me change her diaper.
Here are some pics from the hospital:

I thought it was amazing how much she really does look like the pic from the 3D u/s (see siggy), which was from 31 weeks. Maybe someday I'll get around to sharing her birth story.....
Here's Chloe!
