Oh, and just have to say it again, CONGRATS, Emily is soooo adorable. I just want to reach through the monitor and hold her!

supermom replied: Actually, we are doing great - I guess practice makes perfect? LOL!!! Going great with BF - I really haven't kept track of how often she's eating, or how long, but it's definately on demand. She has taken a long afternoon nap the last two days and then last night was awake from 2 to 4 am - but hopefully tonight without everyone poking and prodding us in the hospital, we'll get some more sleep. Anyone who thinks you get REST in a hospital - ROFL!! As much as they poke and prod and test you.....

Anders is a little jealous (expected) but he asks to hold her too, and kisses and hugs her...it's SO cute. He's asked to nurse a little more often (also expected) but have actually only had them both at the same time once - teehee.....

Was really suprised at how little even the nurses knew about BM and it "coming in" - both of them commented about how my milk should already be in, but I had told them that I had read that it was now colostrum and would be just like me not already nursing. Then they admitted they didn't know - maybe now they'll go and study up - teehee!!

But we did go to work today - lol - so we're back at it, and will go in as normal the rest of the week. Everyone has been coming by to visit and it's been a little hectic, but worth it.

Emily is great - she is so amazing. I think I'm even more in awe this time than the last......it still is just the greatest feeling in the world!

I am working on her birth story, and her website, but probably won't have much done before weekend. <<HUGS>> to you all - and thanks - miss ya!

So, what does DH think about his little girl?

supermom replied:
Are you kidding? She is the apple of his eye!! But he is such a wonderful daddy - I could not have ever asked for better.

MomToMany replied: Awww...how sweet! I'm glad he's enjoying fatherhood, AGAIN!

MomofTay&Sam replied: I am so happy everything is going great for you guys! Hurry up with the birth story! LOL I can't wait much longer. I need alot of pics to! (demanding arnt I?)

kimberley replied: glad to hear all is going so well! i can't believe you are doing so much so soon! you should be relaxing missy!!!

i am constantly amazed at how many health care professionals are so incredibly clueless about many, many things. good thing we educate ourselves!

your little girl is absolutely precious and i can't wait to read your full birth story and see more pics!

hugs,
kimberley

supermom replied: LOL - well, I *could* stay home and look at the remodeling mess, watch Anders alone, and just be bored - ROFL - but it's really more rest if I go to work....teehee....I get help with Emily and Anders from DH and I am not tempted to do the physical remodeling that way!!

Kaitlin'smom replied: so I am guessing you did have her VBAC, since you are out of the Hospital and back to work.


she is soo cute! Course I am partail to little girls

Kirstenmumof3 replied: CONGRATULATIONS! Hope all continues to go well!

CantWait replied: So glad that things are going well for you supermom. Can't Wait to hear the birth story and see more pics of Emily.

coasterqueen replied: Aww that is so great!!! I am glad you all are doing well and that BF is going well!!!! Take care.

MommyToAshley replied: That's awesome... so glad you are doing so well. But, make sure you take it easy, don't do too much work!

It sounds like Anders and Emily are sooo cute together! I can't wait to read the birth story.

Hmmm, I wonder if you can send the hospital a bill for BF educational services. You know the hospital would charge you a counseling fee, LOL.
