Today was my first day back to work and it was really strange to think about something other than when Cameron ate last, when Cameron last had her diaper changed, and when I last washed a load of clothes! Everyone at work was pretty anxious to hear all about her so even though I was at work, I still ended up talking about my baby girl for most of the day - not a bad day's work.
Sara is feeling really good - just about back to normal - and is taking advantage of the decent weather with daily walks around the neighborhood. She even took a few minutes to brush her teeth today. No shower though, we'll have to fit that into Cameron's schedule later. :)
Cameron had her 10 day appointment last Tuesday and she hadn't gained any weight since she left the hospital. The Doctor said that wasn't a huge deal, but that she should be back to her birth weight by the two week mark so they wanted her to come back today just to be weighed. Cameron was apparently up to the challenge because she gained 7 ounces last week (10% of her body weight) to get back to her birth weight and everything looks good. It's completely normal for a newborn to gain weight that quickly, but to put it into perspective, it's like an average sized man gaining 18 pounds in a week. Yikes! That breastmilk must be pretty potent stuff.
Thanks to everyone for the food, cards, and comments that you've sent our way. It's much appreciated!
