When we got home on Sunday things were a little rough, but thankfully we've been able to work out a few kinks and things are getting smoother around here. Jake loves his swing and enjoys his nightly talks with dad about things like high definition televisions and how pepperoni is another member of the pork family. Yukon is a doting big brother and is learning the meaning of the word "enough" when it comes to licking Jake's face. I don't want him to feel like he can't do it ever so we're not saying no, just "enough" and he seems to respond pretty well.
I got my staples out on Tuesday which helped restore a bit of movement which is a nice feeling. Chris is doing a fantastic job of making sure I do things I need to do like eat, shower and get at least a couple of sleep stints throughout the day. Today he took me to Babies R Us just to get out for a bit and we ran into Carrie. That woman is everywhere!!!
At the pediatrician appointment on Tuesday we got some tricks and tools for nursing and it's become so much easier, thank heavens. By Monday night my emotional issues coupled with our inability to see eye to eye on this nursing thing left me in a heap of a mess, but we worked through it and all the family memebers are much happier and I'm just thankful nursing is finally working. Jake also measured at 20 inches and weighed 8 lbs 8 oz, so he's thriving wonderfully and gaining appropriately, which despite all the nursing woes was very nice to hear.
I'll try to get some updated pictures posted before the end of the weekend, especially since Jake's jaundice has improved sooooooo much....Chris actually tried to freak me out by saying we brought home a little oompah loompah (SCARY) but when I see the pictures of him now I have to agree he was quite orangy....hahahahaa
Stay tuned for postings soon....
