Congratulations! Baby is adorable.

To all those who asked about her weight/length/all that jazz, I'm sorry, I keep forgetting that those are things people want to know, haha!
She weighed 8lb, 6oz and is 22 inches long.
I'm 5'3", and amazed she had room to do ANYTHING in there.
:giggle:ZoeHale said:She had her first at-home bath today, it was great, she peed everywhere, hurray!
ZoeHale said:We also had another first: she latched onto the boob WITHOUT CRYING FIRST, and stayed latched/eating for 30 minutes! (Not in the same feedings. But a girl can dream, yes?)
Lemme tell ya, I've been terrified about this whole breastfeeding thing.
Like is she getting enough?
Is it nutritious enough for her?
Why won't she latch immediately, does she not like it?
And I've felt terrible when I gave up a few times, and just gave her a bottle instead of fighting her on it.
Babies are awesome but frustrating.
Zooy said:Marcy is beautiful! I'd give you suggestions on recovering from a csection but apparently I'm nuts, and was at Walmart 2 days after mine and taking walks 3 days afterwards. Just relax, get lots of help with the baby and take advantage of people doing your housework for you. Just enjoy your beautiful little girl.
ZoeHale said:You guys are so lucky, being able to be up and around so soon after the C-section.
I hurt sooo baaaad.
And now my "real" milk is in.
I don't think my boobies have ever been this sore.
