So Uma's been home for a week! Lot's going on. We need sleep. She needs to be fed every 3 hours. And it is such that Nisha and I both need to wake up because our process goes like this:
1. We wake her up (b/c she won't wake up on her own!), and change her diaper, which makes her more alert.
2. Nisha breastfeeds her until she passes out/takes no more, which usually lasts for 10-15 minutes.
3. Then I bottle feed and burp her, while Nisha pumps.
4. Change her diaper again, b/c she will invariably have an explosion in her diaper during her feed.
5. Sleep, then repeat.
She is a very quiet and chilled out baby! Much moreso than Kavi when he was her age. But I wanted to capture a moment of her crying, because you don't really hear it all that much!
She had her first check up with her pediatrician, Dr. Hargrave. He was very impressed with how well Uma eats. She was pretty much back to her original birthweight after she lost some weight in the hospital (pretty typical). He said most babies take a couple of weeks to regain that, it took Uma 6 days. Go Uma!
Last week, Nisha's mom was here to help, this past week, Nisha's youngest sister, Kruti, came to help us out. She has been tremendous. We will definitely miss all the help we've been getting!
Kavi's been enjoying having all these relatives come by to help out. This past weekend, his cousins, aunt, and uncle from San Antonio came to hang out.
Starting Sunday afternoon, we're on our own! Yikes!
