Emily has had a hard time getting the hang of nursing.  When we went for our postpartum visit at the hospital on Tuesday, she was down to 6 lbs, 15 oz.  That is more than a 10% drop from her birth weight of 7 lbs, 14 oz, so we had to supplement her every feeding with a bottle of breast milk.  Today my mom and I brought Emily back to the clinic to weigh her and she is up to 7 lbs, 7 oz!  Yay!!!  We were so happy and already celebrating when my mom lifted Emily off the scale.  She started peeing all over the scale, the floor and my mom!  As she set her back down Emily spit up a ton on my mom’s hands.  Too bad we were on the way to the airport for my mom’s flight home with baby pee on her shirt!  It has been so great to have her here.  I am not sure I am going to be able to do this without her.
