Giving Riley her first bath turned into a family affair. Reagan is still smitten with her sister and although Grant is not, he can't stand it that Reagan would be doing something that he wasn't. Mom needs a picture, and suddenly the bathroom has 5 people in it... :)
First the good news: Linda came to stay Thursday and Friday - and just in time, I think... Being over-tired and filled with inexplicable hormones made (and still are making) me prone to weepiness. Two great suppers, two naps and a longer night of sleep last night have helped greatly -- Linda (and Dave), I'm thankful beyond words! (And now I'm going to start crying again :)
The bad news is that Riley failed her weight check on Thursday. She was 9'15oz at birth, 9'5oz when she left the hospital, and 9'1oz at her weight check. She'll go back on Monday to be re-checked and I'm trying to feed her as much as possible between now and then... :)
When the nurse asked me why I thought Riley wasn't eating as much at home, I told her I thought she was (among several other things) distracted when she ate. Ever try to nurse a baby who just got hit in the face by an over-zealous brother, while you have a three-year-old climbing onto your back and asking incessantly about what the baby is doing? It isn't easy, let me tell you... :)
