Ellie is four weeks old today. We're still working on our routine, but seem to have it down pretty well. Ellie is finally starting to spend more time awake during the day than she does at night. And, with her sleeping in our bed, I'm able to get her back to sleep relatively quickly when she wakes up to eat in the middle of the night.
My incision is still not healed, though it looks better today than it ever has. It's much less red, and not draining so much. My doctor is waiting until Monday to see if we need to start the wet to dry packing again. Hopefully, it'll make some good progress over the weekend and we won't have to do that!
Nursing is a work in progress, but Ellie and I are not giving up. I'm grateful to everyone who supports me. I got so many calls and texts yesterday after I posted about our struggles. I'm fortunate to have so many people who are offering to give me advice and support me.
Here are pictures from this week:
Spending time with Daddy.
Ellie's first car show (many more in her future, I'm sure!)
Ellie and me
Ellie was helping me with the laundry.
This is how she spent most of the car show -- asleep in her stroller.
