My mom cried when she saw her for the first time. We were all very happy that she was healthy.
On day 2 she came home to my moms house in Hyderabad.
On day 2 she saw her mom for the first time about 35 hours after birth.
On day 2 she was switched to Enfamil and she did not really like it and drank very little, and had us all worried.
On day 3 she drank very little, cried very little and had us all super worried.
On day 4 she had a doctors appointment and she did a lot of tests on her and the poor girl had blood drawn from her and she cried and cried. We were in the hospital from 10am until 4 pm. Her results were normal expect for a slight elevation in Bilirubin levels. She is O+ and the blood she shared with her mother is being destroyed and changed over to O+ and this is causing an elevated level of Bilirubin, but it is very slightly elevated.
On day 4 night, she was very fussy and stayed up until 4am and my mom and her mom were up with her until then and tired them both out. I woke up the next morning and everybody was dead asleep.
From Day 4 onwards she has been drinking very well and is now crying for more milk. This has been a good sign. She has been pooping a lot and we were worried about the diarrhea, and my mom took to the doctor again and he said not to worry unless it is red or she is not drinking her milk. So she is drinking very well, but had to check just to make sure.
Although she seems to be a night owl and likes to wake up and play late at night. If you take her away from the fan also she cries. Priya's preferred position seems to be someone holding her close to their chest under the fan. I have to say that the wife has taken to being a mother like a duck to water.
Ok, everybody keeps asking for more pictures and I will post more soon.
She has been having visitors everyday. Yesterday, Vasant, Jyothi and Ananya came by. Her cousin Happy and her parents Sandeep and Yogitha also came by.
She also got her car yesterday. We bought her a new Toyota Innova this year and will likely buy her a new Mercedes for her next visit when she is a little older. I am unsure if she will come when she is 1 back to India, but will likely come when she is 2 and can interact more with her relatives.
Today will be a big day for her, since a whole bevy of visitors are slated to come by. Possibly 10 relatives will be showing up, if not more for Priyas day 5.
Day 5 big activity is that she is now turning 90 degrees onto her side. So no more putting her on the dining room table to change her, that has become too dangerous now.
