I was so happy to have you home with me, instead
of at the hospital, with nurses interfering all day long!
Finally, I got my sweet baby to myself!... The first thing
we did was to rest up, after getting home from Target.
I was tired, and my incision hurt from all the walking.
We just got a lot of holding time in!!!... That
night I gave you your first bath at home. You
needed one, since you hadn’t been bathed
since right after your birth. I gave you a sponge
bath that night, and you did not like it at all!
You were fine when the towel was wrapped
around you, but when I started washing you,
you screamed to raise the roof! You were very
happy when I was done, and you had your
warm jammies on. By then it was just after
8 pm, so we settled into bed and I nursed you.
When you were done, I tucked you into the
cradle, which was only around 2 feet away
from my side of the bed... It was an awake sort
of night. You got up 4 or 5 times, but it would
take an hour or so to feed you... Nursing wasn’t
going well at all. We were still giving you
supplements... But I was glad you were home!
