Fourth Day:
Last night was really hard. I feel like I haven't slept in YEARS, I am in so much pain....I skipped a dosage of meds on accident...so now my body is paying for it.
But little Kate is eating so well!! Its been a family affair with eating, Jed gets up with her, brings her to me, turns on the lights, pillows, burp rags, blankets. Ugh...Katelyn and I have to get on track here.
Bridger and Jocelyn are still at grandma's and Uncle william's house, so its nice that we could have a night to figure it out.
My milk came in the morning, so much MILK! I forgot the feeling of boulders you get and the ache in your chest. I am so uncomfortable, I pumped only 2 ounces from each side to get some extra milk storage. But I still feel so engoraged. Hopefully only a few more days.
Jaundice is up to 15..ugh...I am nervous we are going to have to hospitalize her. They told me to keep nursing and that will help flush it out. I guess the fourth day is their peak day. I'm hoping it goes down. Tomorrow we have to go back to the hospital in the morning.
I wanted to take a picture day and I didn't take one. UGH. I feel awful about it, but will take one tomorrow. I am wanting to take a BILLION pictures of her, as I regret not doing so with Bridger or Jocelyn. Maybe I should just sneak and take one right now.
Pain wise, I'm still sore, but so much better, my ligament pain is still so sensitive right now. BUT I can walk and move around TONS better, I don't need Jed's help that much. Finally my Independence is coming back slowly but surley.
I tried the stupid Belly Bandit. It barley fits around my tummy, and its so not flattering, bludges all my fat rolls up and ugh...but Jed is making me wear it, finally in the afternoon I took it off to take a nap. I'm exhausted...I figure a day or two more won't hurt..or will it!?!?
My neighbors, Steph and Steff came and brought me dinner tonight, it was so thoughtful of them! Pizza with garlic bread and a salad. YUM!! Also our family came to visit Val, Stan, Karrie, Ben and my parents came to visit the baby today, it was soo sweet!! They were so wonderful and sweet about our baby. We are so fortunate to have such good family that is so supportive! They kept telling us how beautiful she was, and what parent doesn't like to hear that?!!?!? =)
We got bridger back tonight, we've MISSED HIM!! Little boy!! SOOOOO good with baby Kate, and so wonderful and sweet! Bridger is our personal baby monitor. 'Mom mom the baby is going "wah wah " like that. lol....So cute!! I think he is so excited to be home too. Our Jocelyn doesn't want to come home, she has been with her cousin and wants to stay there forever!! Little girl! Monday we will pick her up. WE miss her too!!
Going to BED!! Katelyn ate from both sides! GOOD GIRL and now Bridger is asleep, and its 2:26am. UGH...
