Well, I thought that she just went through a growth spurt and I was right! Little Stella weighed in today at 9lbs 8oz - a weight gain well above average for her age, according to the lactation consultant. And, that was hungry. We weighed her again after a feed and she was ~3oz heavier. :)
The consultant tells us we're doing everything just right. The not-so-good news is that my pain issues could have been prevented with a simple outpatient procedure during the pregnancy, which probably can't happen now until I'm through b-feeding Stella. And the discomfort is not likely to subside. This is a real bummer, but at least she's gaining well and I can fix this for future babies.
Oh, and she was very surprised to see Stella smiling at me. She said she's never seen a baby that young, even a late one, smile at 3 weeks.
Enough of the bragging already!!

No, there's never too much bragging! Especially when there is SO much to brag about. I just can't wait to see my baby Stella! September 26 can't come too soon. Kiss her for me. Love you
