Kaiya- Day 2

She's utterly perfect. We didn't get much sleep last night, but I think it was more my not knowing her cues more than her being fussy. She's nursing like a champ, and nursing a lot. A matter of fact, she's only lost like 2% of her birth weight already. That's pretty good! We've learned she doesn't like being undressed, changed, or being cold, but other than that, she almost never cries. She LOVES being swaddled, but she will work endlessly while swaddled during her "wakey" times to get her hands out, and she's a determined little bugger.

Mommy feels like she birthed a bus, but is getting by with just the motrin and a Tylonol every 6 hours. And ladies, you weren't joking, these awful mesh panties they give you are just about the most awesome inventions ever. Does Amazon sell these things??

Kaiya had a couple admirers visit in the evening, including her Aunt Liana, cousin Siana, Ahma (Grandma Nancy), and her God Parents Elspeth and Jon. I wish I had taken more pictures, but in my sleepless, pained state I only thought to grab my phone a couple of times :/ Between Liana, John and myself we did manage to get a couple.
