I survived the first two weeks! Some nights Madelyn is awesome and wont be fussy at all, and then there are others where she'll cry all night long. Its frustrating trying to figure out what she needs during those long nights. Breastfeeding is going very well now, I saw a lactation specialist at the pediatricians office. She reassure me that Madelyn and I are doing everything right. At her 2 weeks checkup Madelyn weighed 8 lb 0.5 oz and was 21 in long. The doctor was happy that she was pretty much back up to her birth weight.
My mom and step-dad left yesterday after helping us out for 2 weeks. I was very upset when she left. She has been so hopeful around the house. She cooked me every meal and gave me baby advice. I've been emotional (10x if I don't get sleep) since Madelyn was born. I'm waiting for my hormones to get back into normal so I can be myself again. I know that being weepy is very common after delivery, but it makes Jeremy upset when he sees me cry. He does not understand why and he does not know what to do.
