Sorry I haven't posted in a while. I tried to last Friday but Blogger was being slow and I don't have a lot of time to wait for webpages to load, ya know?! :)
Annika is doing great! I went back to work last Wednesday for 1 day then had 2 off for Thanksgiving. That was a tough day. I cried (bawled actually) while feeding her that morning. Then I cried again as I left the house. I was okay at work until I saw my friend Michelle. Then I broke down crying again. I didn't have a lot to do since so many people were gone on vacation. So I went through all my e-mail instead. I also pumped three times and that seemed to go well too. Hopefully it will go well again today and for a long time. Annika did great at home though. She took the bottle really well from Kris and slept almost the whole day. She was happy to see me when I got home that night too. She smiled really big at me. Later that night when she got tired I put her in her swing, where she normally takes naps, and she cried. I picked her up and she fell asleep in my arms right away. She we cuddled and napped together for a little bit before we went to see Aunt Carrie and Uncle Adam. They had a brief layover in Minneapolis in their Thanksgiving travel plans.
I just called home now and she has been awake this morning since 7:30 am - just going down for a nap now! That's a long stretch for her! She also drank 4 ounces this morning. Kris is going to keep track of how much she drinks so I know how much I need to pump each day to keep up with her.
I weighed her last night (the unofficial way) and she was 13.4 pounds! She just keeps growing! Good baby!
I have more pictures to upload. Hopefully I can do that soon.
