Our first night at home

So it was interesting having Willa actually home with us last night. She has been nursing good considering she was only given the chance to nurse twice a day and the rest of the time was given bottled expressed breast milk. Last night she wasn't always taking a full feeding at the breast. Of course by the time I had figured this out I had been up to feed at 12am, 2am, 3am and 6am. At the 3am I actually asked Casey to just feed her a bottle as I wasn't feeling well. I'll spare you the details but I think I am staying away from Burger King for awhile as this is the 2nd time in a row its upset my stomach. She ate about 50cc's and thats when she slept till 6am.

Today she has been doing better about getting more of her feedings at the breast, she ate at 8am and I went ahead and supplemented her a little with a bottle. She lasted till 12pm that feeding went really well and she lasted this last time for 3 1/2hrs. So I think we're doing great considering she wasn't allowed to nurse let alone eat for the first several days. I'm really excited to have her home.

Eli is taking this all like a champ! He is very interested in her, he wants to play with her and doesn't understand that she's to little. He currently thinks its very funny to shake the pack n play as hard as he can while she's in it and watch her bounce around in her bouncer that is in the pack n play. We are having a power struggle over that, we keep having to spank him and move him after giving him the option of stopping or being spanked. He also figured out to push his toy piano against it and then push his little rocking chair next to that and climb to be able to reach her. Thankfully that one was easily corrected and I think that was because once he got up he got stuck and that scared him a little. Another thing we had was he tried to bite her foot! That earned him a spanking! Thankfully her newborn Jammie's are to big and her foot wasn't to the end of the footie and he just got the Jammie and not her foot. Hmm I seem to remember one of my brothers biting one of his siblings right after the baby was born. I can't remember which one though. Overall we're happy to be home! My challenge starts tomorrow when Casey goes to work and leaves me alone with both babies.

Todays dirty diaper count: 7 I think, might be more then that! Hummm just dub us "Poopy Palace"
