Our first night home...
We did really well for our first night home. Had a great night last night. Feedings every 2.5 to 3 hours. I got a good 3 hour stretch of sleep (oh la la!). Daddy had a slumber party with Ella last night and slept until 1:30am in her room. He took over following the wee AM hours nurse and woke me up when she was ready for the next feeding. As a first night home from the hospital goes... it was perfect. Libby is a nursing champion. It seems as though I have enough to sustain her, which was not the case when Ella came home. We have this little device that I call the "boob straw" that is a mini plastic straw thread type thing attatched to a syringe that we can give her a few teaspoons of formula by lacing it in the corner of her mouth and SLOWLY pushing on the syringe while she is nursing. The exctra couple of calories has made the difference in her feeling full and happy. I ran to Target to pick up a few things I needed while Sasa watched her and Daddy took Ella to work. Sounds like we have some friends coming over tonight (Millers and Hansens) for a little visit and the Millers are bringing dinner. Doesn't get much better than that. Now... on to that nappy that I am needing~!
