for now

having a newborn at home sure takes a lot of work... amori lost 12% of her birth weight in the past 5 days and we had to bring it back up ASAP so we've had to supplement breastmilk with formula and expressed breast milk.

(on a side note... those breast pumps sure are funky gadgets! the community health nurse brought us a medela hospital-grade pump and damn - i feel like a cow. LOL. the first time we tried it, aldo and i couldn't stop laughing... it was like a cross between being Mazinger-Z's nemesis and a cow being fed for her milk!)

after just one day of mixed feeding, amori gained back a few ounces and is less fussy... amazing what hunger can do to an infant, really. yesterday's doctor appointment showed she's 7oz. to her birth weight - yaay!

the downside of feeding her formula though is a lot of smelly diapers and spit-ups. thank God for our Diaper Genie!

something's wrong with blogger today... i can't upload pictures argh! click here for amori's photos!
