Piper One Week Old

Piper is now one week old. We are so amazed by what she can already do. She is only one week old and she has already rolled over from stomach to back once for Daddy and once for Nonie. Crazy huh! While doing tummy time she can already move her head from one side to another. This girl has some seriously strong neck muscles.

Piper is also very different from Pennington. She doesn't like to be alone at all. We can only leave her by herself for like 5 to 10 minutes before she starts totally freaking out. She has the loudest cry for a one week old which is exactly the reason we named her Piper. We keep joking around about how we will never have to use the monitor for Piper. As you can guess since we can't leave her alone at all we are having to do a lot of co-sleeping. She sleeps the best on our chests.

Piper is an AMAZING breast feeder. Mommy is so excited about this. We did have to do some very limited supplementing (maybe 5 ounces) in the beginning because she was having trouble controlling her blood sugar levels because of Mommy's diabetes. She lost some weight from birth (10 ounces) but gain 3 ounces back since we left the hospital. We have another doctors appointment tomorrow because Piper hasn't had a bowel movement in a few days. I will make sure to post an update after our doctors appointment.

Below are some recent photos of Piper. We are crossing our fingers she will take the Binky so that Mom doesn't turn into a human pacifier. Right now she isn't really excited about it.
