Things I love...

The two people in the picture.
Wearing real clothes again.
Not having a single place to go tomorrow
Bouncy chairs that make babies not cry
Poopy diapers (yeah, I know... we didn't have some for so long that every one of them now is a little celebration)
Naps
Blankets
Genie Bartlett (she has superhero status as far as I am concerned. Nice to know someone in the medical field)
Amazing Friends
The breast pump!! (why did I not open this box earlier???)
Showers
more naps
my life.

We Love Fat Girls

Lilly's weight is stable, but not increasing. Nothing to worry about. We reviewed what we do and how we do it, and so far we are on the right track. It just seems unnatural to piss off the baby to get her to eat.

Talking the Talk.

We used to talk about CNN, Iran, computer things, dinner, recipes, etc.

Conversations in our house now have centered around pee, poop, waking up, sleeping, breasts and milk. Yeah, we are officially parents.

Relief !

Lilly's weight is back up and we are off supplements. And we can go to three hours between feedings at night! I never thought I would be excited about pee.
Peace,
Billy

And here we go again...

Up for another feeding. We are sleeping maybe 45 minutes at a time these days. (and that is including the baby). I am hoping we will get to move the feedings to every 2 1/2 or 3 pretty soon, depending on what happens at the doctor today.
Don't let anyone every tell you that owning a newborn is easy. NO NO.

People keep asking about coming to visit. Not sure I want visitors when the prime visit time, I could be sleeping.
We will see. This will all get better and become a routine. Until then, we are all pretty loopy.

Ugh

Two hour feeding cycles suck. I'm just sayin'.
Peace,

And in this corner, weighing in at....

We had our first weigh in this morning. Down 9%, just above the 10% they don't like to see. Baby was a little dehydrated, but we suspected that. We have supplements and we go back in the morning. This is all routine they tell us. Lilly is fine, everything looked good.

Us, not so much.
