6 days old...

SO SORRY! Yesterday was a bit crazy all day and evening and I didn't get online at all. I apologize for the delay in posting Harper's stats. Yesterday morning was Harper's first pediatric appointment and it went really, really well. She's only lost 9 ounces from her birth weight and is currently 9 lbs and 2.5 ounces. The doctor was really impressed because said most babies that large at birth lose quite a bit more weight. Her height was measured at 22 1/2 inches which is an inch and a half taller than what they measured her at birth. Yikes. She is off the charts for height, obviously and is at 90% for her weight. The doctor was really impressed that nearly all the bruising to Harper's face was completely gone and there was absolutely no sign of jaundice at all. Also, she said Harper's umbilical cord was probably one of the largest she'd ever seen. It also had a little bit of pus showing so she cleaned it with alcohol. Harper also got a Hepatitis B shot and definitely didn't like it. She got over it pretty quickly though.

After the pediatric appointment, we went home and spent the afternoon with cousins Ashley, Chris and Roark as well as Aunt Carole and Uncle Dean. A fun time was definitely had by all. Harper charmed everyone with her cuteness and around 2:30, Omie picked Riley up from daycare so she could see and play with everyone. Riley was a bit stingy with her toys, but she did let Roark play around a little with them. LOL.

Last night was an interesting night for me. Riley was really fussy before bedtime. She woke up a couple of hours after going to bed and wouldn't stop crying. It seemed her left eye was really bothering her because she kept rubbing it. I finally got her back to sleep and in bed when Omie decided to go to bed for the night. About 20 minutes later, Harper was getting fussy in my lap and I lifted her up to a sitting position and she suddenly projectile vomited all of the milk she'd drunk earlier. Wow, what a mess. On top of all that, her umbilical cord had dried blood all around it. I got probably a total of 3 hours of sleep throughout the night. Ugh. Plus, when I went to change Harper this morning, she had actually lost her umbilical cord and there was quite a bit of dried blood on her belly and diaper. Luckily, there didn't seem to be any damage done or anything and when we gave her a bath later this morning, her belly button looked just fine.

Here are a few more pics from the last couple of days...
