Doctor's appointment went well.  Lily lost a total of 8 ounces since she was born.  4 ounces before we left the hospital and 4 more since then.  She should start chubbin' up now that she'll be getting breast milk instead of colostrum when she feeds.  Jaundice is completely gone and she's got another checkup in a couple of weeks.

Also got to see the Lifeline ladies and they were all so excited to meet Miss Lily.  They all agreed she is so, so, so beautiful and I don't blame them.  I mean, duh, she IS my daughter. :)  The pregnancy resource center has been a great source of information and super helpful in getting some baby supplies too.  They sent us home today with a basket full of goodies to welcome Lily into the world. It was full of all kinds of clothes, blankets, diapers, wipes, bath stuff, pacifiers, and tons of other stuff too.  So glad I went through with the Lifeline programs and support.  They are absolutely amazing.  Oh, and they took some pictures of Lily to be featured in their newsletter and on their facebook page.  I'll have to find out how to get ahold of a copy of them to keep.

Sorry its sideways, can't figure out how to rotate in this blog program...

Now that we know she's adjusting well and breastfeeding is going great we will be making a trip to Warrensburg to meet everyone including baby Sebastian.  Lily will also be seeing her dad for the first time.  Being that he and I aren't and haven't been together since I got pregnant I'm kinda nervous about it.  I have all kinds of emotions regarding the entire situation with him.  Currently I'm mostly just disappointed that I was right.  He swore up and down and promised for months that he'd be there when she was born because it was important to him but I knew it wouldn't happen that way and it didn't.  I am holding onto a shred of hope that he'll make some positive changes in his life after he sees her.  I know that having children, bonding, and feeling the responsibility therein is different for everybody and completely different for men so I'm hoping that maybe seeing her gorgeous eyes staring up at him will be the swift kick in the ass he needs to turn his life around for her.  I'm going to continue to be hopeful as its all I can really do at this point. 

Since I thought Lily was going to be bigger than she was I didn't invest in any newborn sized clothes so she doesn't have much to choose from until she starts growing.  Today she was summery and gorgeous. :)  With her perfect skin tone I believe she will look fantabulous in any and every color.  Sheesh, she's just perfect. 

Also, if any of you reading this know, speak to, or know anyone that does speak to Lily's dad I ask that you do not share any of this information regarding him.  I don't need any more stress in that department than I already have.  This is a private and intimate blog and I trust that you'll respect my privacy.  Thank you.
