Well we have made it almost through our first week with Alyssa! She is so amazing!!! it has been a wonderful experience this past week, but it has been different! We came home sat around 4:00pm. Things went well, JV spent a lot of night time with her on the couch. She didn't seem to like sleeping in her pack n play on her back, but she had no problems snoozing on dad's chest on the couch.
Monday night was a different story. She screamed for about 3 hours straight and there was nothing we could do to console her. So at 1:00am I went to walmart to get her some gas medicine. That seemed to do the trick b/c she went to sleep not long after that. Tuesday night went well. She still doesn't like sleeping on her back, but put her on the couch with one of us and she is good to go!!!
We have had lots of wonderful visitors and many wonderful meals made for us, which personally I really appreciate!!!!
We went to the dr. on Monday and they checked her out, she looked good but a little yellow so the sent us to the lab to do some blood work to check her belly ruben. The pricked her foot and had to fill 2 viles with blood one drip at a time. I didn't want to go so JV took her back. He said it broke his heart b/c she just cried and there was nothing he could do. Her level was a 14.6 which was a little high, and had gone up since in the hospital so they wanted us to come back on Tuesday to check it again and make sure it was going down. So on Tuesday we went back and they did it again, but this time I took her and she slept through the whole thing, so that made me feel better. Her results came back at 12.4 so they were pleased with that. They also checked her weight and she was back up to 7.6. (she was 7.8 when she was born, 7.4 on the 4th, 7.5 on the 5th, 7.5 on the 6th, and 7.6 on the 7th). we are going to go back tomorrow morning to check her weigh again, but they shouldn't need to do the belly ruben again. I think she looks much better now, not near as yellow!
JV had to go back to work on Wednesday. It was really hard for him to leave her, but he was so excited to come home and get his Alyssa time. Paige and Alex came over on wednesday and Paige sat with Alyssa so I could run to target and get a few things. Then Granpa and Grammy came over on Thursday got in there Alyssa time!
We are so lucky to have all these wonderful people to help out and that want to love on her!!!
