Adelaide is doing great! She finally had her first poop and has been able to get a bit of colostrum from Amy, though the whole breast-feeding thing is a bit of a challenge still.
Last night, Adelaide slept intermittently. It was hard to get her to stop burbling and babbling. Cute as her vocalizations are, she doesn't make sleep easy. I think she's in a contest with one of our cats, Terra, to see which one is cutest.
To help with the nursing, Amy has been using a Boppy. They're specially shaped pillows that sit around the mother's mid-section so she can rest her baby on top while feeding. She loves it, though it's difficult figuring out how to get Adelaide to latch on properly.
It's hard to tell what Adelaide needs sometimes. She often burbles or cries, then makes what I call the "poopy face." You know the one. the whole face screws up, the mouth gets tight, her little eyebrows furrow, and she grunts like she's squeezing something out. Then she relaxes her face and smiles a little. But they're usually false alarms.
...In 15 years, I'll be able to use this blog as blackmail material.
