Day 3 of No Sleep....




Big Day. Veda had her first Dr. Appt. It was really just a weigh in. She is at 7lbs 11oz which the Dr. was quite happy about. We were scolded for admitting to not having tummy time with her yet - I don't know when we'd have time for tummy time - we are just trying to fit in feeding, sleeping, and pooping time! Here's a pic of Todd in the waiting room at the Dr. office. Veda also got a bath today. We tried a little one yesterday and got peed on ; ) I had a Dr. Appt too. The Dr. wanted to see me because of my fevers. He sent in for some tests and we should hear back tomorrow - he thinks it might be related to the Tetnus shot they gave me right before I left the hospital on Friday. I just hope he figures it out and gives me some more meds because it's bad enough being up all night and tired - having the aching chills too makes it almost unbearable.

Last night our friends Geoff and Lori came with gifts and dinner... they brought Veda her first tummy time "surf board"; ) Geoff thought it was only appropriate given that she is a southern cal girl. Another excellent visit with friends and much appreciated. We were pampered and just sat on the couch while they served us!

Auntie Melissa (my cousin's wife) also stopped by today and gave me some much needed help with some equipment - I won't go into it here;) Melissa - we forgot to get your pic with Veda!!
Take note of the picture of Todd holding Veda with her legs up in the air. She's usually wrapped in a blanket so we haven't noticed that her legs still pop up when they aren't bound. A result of months in the womb with her feet above her head. The Dr. has asked us to continue to double layer her with diapers to keep her legs tight and pointed downward. It's hard enough getting one diaper on her...;)
