First week at home

We got discharged from the hospital right at 48 hours, so we were home by 3pm Saturday. Jeff's parents had arrived the day before and Karen had already started cleaning my house - moms know what will make a woman happy :) My parents arrived just minutes before we got to the house. So now we have 2 moms cooking - very nice. They also are good about buying fruits and vegetables making sure we eat healthy. Unfortunately I'm a little limited on what veggies I can eat for a few weeks. Dr has me on a 'low-residue' diet till my stitches heal. You can guess the gross details.

Allison is one of those sleepy babies so far, so it's been on the easy side. When she is alert, she's very alert which makes her cuter. I'm still breastfeeding. That part is not really easy, we're both learning. I had some cracked and bleeding issues, so I forced myself to finish a book I bought and sure enough I learned a few important techniques. Things are better now, but we're still working on a latch that doesn't hurt. I seem to be more sensitive at night, so Jeff gets woken up with a scream from both of us.

I can tell she's gaining weight but she's still small. Her 0-3 mo outfits are still big on her. And we are not very good at dressing a baby yet and pulling arms through. She can get red with frustration from us. We've only had a couple moments where the screaming was consistent for a while. One of those times I guess it just took her 2 hours to work on a big poop. After that she slept through the night except for me attempting to wake her long enough to feed. I like the sleepy part except where it drags out feeding times in the middle of the night.

Jeff worked from home yesterday all day and is doing that again today. I think his parents leave tomorrow and mine on Monday. He'll work from home Monday and then it'll be me by myself. the days do tend to fly by kinda fast when you're scheduled is revolved around 2 hour feeding intervals - trying to see how much you can squeeze in between. So I have not had that much time to work on more photos. it's on the list.
