8/6/08 Week #4Vivian's got a BIG appetite! In the first couple of weeks she was eating about 2 ounces per sitting, now she has gone up to 4 and 5 ounces. Not to mention that she is eating at least every 2 hours. She has gained about 1 pound.
7/30/08 Week #3
Here she is looking really cute and posing for the camera. She is finally fitting into her onesies (which used to fit her too big!) She likes to have her arms free when she sleeps thus swaddling her has gone out the window. We have achieved success on the latch-on and nursing her has been a dream this past week. Thank goodness mommy (and baby) did not give up!
7/23/08 Week #2
Vivian recognizes mommy's voice and touch according to her grandma Lenore. She likes the dark & light contrast of my hair and skin, and seems to calm down when I pick her up. "Lizard skin" (as I call it) started to appear this week as layers of her dermis have been coming off. Also, she started getting cradle cap this week. This is when little layers of skin start coming off of her scalp; it almost looks like fish scales! She continues to get many visitors and people who meet her say that she is very alert for her age.

Week #1
Vivian is one week old! She loves "tummy time" with daddy and enjoys skin-to-skin with mommy. Breastfeeding has been a challenge as Vivian clamps on really hard so we are seeing a lactation consultant who is helping us to get her to pull out her tongue. In the meantime, I bought a breast pump(to supplement with the nursing) so Ben and I take turns on the feeding and diaper changing; it's a team effort.
