ONE Ounce!

Day 4 of Alisia's life. Today we went to the doctor. When we were discharged from the hospital she had lost 5 ounces (which is normal in newborns). Today the doctor said she had gained an ounce. Not much but it's something. Other than that she is eating, crying, and pooping! She eats every 2 to 4 hours around the clock. Twice she has woken up every hour for a feeding. Rough! I felt tired before but since I am not at work, I can't nap anymore.

This morning I was feeding Alisia at about 4am and she had gotten the hiccups. Juliana heard her, shot up out of bed and starting cracking up loudly. She thought Alisia's hiccups were the funniest thing. When Alisia cries, Juliana thinks it's funny. I do think that Juliana knows that she is her sister. She will come close to her and try to lay her head on her. Mamita just doesn't understand that her head makes up the majority of her baby sister.

Bobby needed a break from all the baby business and spent the night at my mom's. Actually, he wanted to go to my niece's quinceaneara and since we weren't gonna go (it's too soon to be out and about partying it up, even though everything in me really wants a Blue Moon beer!), my mom said she would take him. I know my grandparents are in from Mexico for the party. I just hope they meet my daughter before they go. I think my aunt and uncle from Houston are here too.

Next week is Mamita's FIRST BIRTHDAY!!! APRIL 8TH! We obviously aren't going all out like we would like to, but we will definitely celebrate with food, cake, and ice cream. We owe her a big birthday bash...hopefully next year.
