Aevas first week home

Aeva has now been home for a bit over a week now. She is adjusting well to home life, and has even gotten to venture out a little bit into the real world. (nothing exciting, only the Tricare office on post when I wanted to kill her pediatrician). She left the Vanderbilt NICU weighting 7lbs 3.3oz (5/8), and was 7lbs 8oz on Monday, (5/11), and was was 7 lbs 11.8oz on Friday the 15th. She is growing at the rate that she should, and is eating well.Most of you know that Aeva's issue that kept her in the NICU so @#$%ing long was eating. She is now eating 2-2.5 ounces every 3 hours, keeping the majority of it down. She is a puker and atleast 2 times a day will puke up a little bit. It's funny: after being in the NICU for so long, we learned how to judge how much puke was "a lot" versus "a little." Sometimes its more than others..but its ALWAYS all over something...my leg...my arm...the floor...herself...:)She's a pretty easy-going baby...not too demanding, and very self satisfying. (I probably just jinxed it.) She sleeps well...better if on a lap or chest...and loves to be pushed by our cat, Whiskey, when she's in her swing.Whiskey is not having jealousy issues, he is actually very protective of her and will pull guard duty and watch her.
