We went to the doctor today - she dropped 8% of her body weight and they wanted to check and make sure she was gaining appropriately. She is! She is back up to 5lbs., 15 oz. Still tiny for Burke standards (she's only in the 5th percentile), but they were pleased that she is putting on weight.
A little excitement today as Bo decided to pick her up out of her bouncy seat on the floor and accidentally dropped her. Thankfully, she is fine. Mom and Dad here are still on edge a little from the event.
We have been overwhelmed with good wishes and meals from friends and family. We haven't had to worry about a thing since we've been home (well, except for worrying about where Bo is).
Aside from all that, she is eating and sleeping pretty well for a one-week-old. She'll usually wake up around 12:30am and 4am. I can handle that! I am becoming reacquainted with tv at that hour which is pretty dull. I planned ahead today and tivo-ed a couple shows to keep me interested. I would nurse in a quiet, dark room - but who am I kidding? With four kids now, I would be falling asleep and out of the chair!!
Drew starts school in two weeks - I cannot believe it. Jack will be home with me till after Labor Day and Bo will stay till I return to work (probably the last week in September or first week of October)...

So glad she is putting on weight!!! Bella was 5 lbs 15 oz when we brought her home!! She's still a tiny little thing at only 30 lbs at 4 years old!!!
Hope everything continues to go well!
