Not Demanding

So, my mom has commented several times that Mira is not a demanding baby. I wasn't quite sure what she meant by that. I mean, I knew she wasn't overly fussy and doesn't cry a lot (except for when she's naked, and who doesn't cry then anyway?), but I didn't exactly know what that meant. Now I do. We had our two week pediatrician appointment today and sweet little Mira was down to 6 pounds 4 ounces! They are supposed to be back up to birth weight by two weeks old! My poor sweet child has been hungry! But, she is so not demanding that we didn't know she was still hungry after feedings! The pediatrician sent us over to "lactation" after our appointment to check on how nursing was going. I was a little confused by that because she does so well at latching and eating. But, I didn't realize how crafty those little lactation consultants can be. They weighed Mira before I fed her (Praise the Lord it was perfect timing for her to eat again by then!) and then they weighed her after she ate to see how much she was getting. She got close to an ounce of food and she's supposed to have 2.5 ounces at each feeding! My poor sweet little girl has been hungry for two weeks! Waaaa! So, we're on a new schedule. Good-bye to the days of six hours of sleep in a row (oh yes, last night she slept six hours straight...it was glorious). The new schedule: feed, supplement, pump...three hours later: feed, supplement, pump...and repeat over and over until Tuesday when we go back for a weight check. Yes, this sounds a little daunting, especially the thought of pumping in the middle of the night. Do you know how long all these things take to complete??? Yes, I will soon (hopefully!!) be a milk factory. Apparently I'm just not making enough yet. So...pray for milk...
