She is so precious! I think she totally looks like an ava.

What is the 3rd pic of? Is it a picture of her arm hair? Finn is covered in dark hair, he even has a hairy butt!

Yeah, it's arm hair. She has hair all over her legs, arms, back, and butt. The hair on her legs are coming off though.
She sleeps 23 hours out the day and only cries when it's time to eat or she has a poo diaper. We're so blessed. Things are getting soooo much better. I'm feeling good. I just can't hold her and walk yet, but things are great.

Glad things are going well! I feel almost normal today, I was actually able to shave my legs earlier! I'm feeling a little worse as the day goes on but i've been able to get on and off the couch with no problem. Do you go to the doctor tomorrow to have your staples removed? I wish I were going sooner than friday, my tape is falling off and i'm nervous about it being uncovered.

Anyway, she's gorgeous!

Lol, I called .Oni my hairy monkey!!


She had hair *everywhere!*!!!


Thank *god* it fell off!! I mean it was everywhere.


I was petrified that she would be hairy like me...But it all came off!!


She still has a patch right abover her .Mongolian .Spot(which covers her whole left butt cheek and lower back)..Her mongolian spot is the reason I haven't taken any pics of her naked on her belly.

People constantly ask if I spanked her.....
They're just ignorant and don't know that she has mixed blood!!!

I was breastfeeding for every feeding for the first 4 days, then it got to be too much. I talked to her pediatrician and she recommended supplementing so I can rest. I don't give her the breast anymore. I pump. Every 4 hours she gets either breastmilk or enfamil lipil. It works best that way for us. She said when I feel better I can give her the breast at night when we're sleeping or in the morning if I want, but I don't have to.

How much is she eating every 4 hours? Just wondering because we can't get finn to go more than 3 except at night when we're sleeping he can go up to 6.

I read somewhere that at some point in your pregnancy the baby is completely covered in thick hair. I don't know when or why, though.

She's eating 2 oz. Every 4 hours. After she eats breastmilk and it's time for formula, she's ready to eat at 3 1/2 hours. When she had formula and it's time for breastmilk, we wake her up at 4 hours.
The formula fills her up for longer. I like giving her the breastmilk b/c it makes her poo faster, so I know she's not constipated or anything.
The Dr. Said that at 4 weeks we should be at 4 oz. Every 4 hours.
How much does finn eat?

He's taking 3 ounces every 3 hours. He was pooping like 4 times a day but now it's only once, I read as long as he poops at least once every 3 days he's fine.

they can actually not poop for up to 12 days and nothing be wrong.(info taken from 'the best baby on the block.'"

oni was constipated when we had to switch from breast to formula.

And her .Jaundice would not lower because she was not pooping to pass the .Biliruben through Crying or Very sad .

I had to give her suppositories and dark karo syrup warm in her water.

She actually enjoyed the suppository. It relieved her immedietly. I couldn't leave it in, I had to just stick it in and give her the urge to push.

I'm glad that phase is over. No more gas, no more wondering what the hell she's crying for.

Now it's teethin terrors!!!!!!!!! Eeekkkk!!

Will it ever end?!?!?!?!
