So the first 2 nights home were HORRIBLE as far as sleep. Eric cried all night long. But after that he was sleeping great at night, waking every 4 hours for feedings. The past 2 nights have been a little rough again, he just doesnt want to sleep at night all of a sudden. But I am hoping that it will be back to good tonight because I am one sleepy mommy. Michael goes back to work tomorrow....24 whole hours without daddy to help and I am freaking out a little especially if tonight goes like the last 2 have...I will be a mess.
Eric lost his cord a few days ago and had his first bath. He wasnt too thrilled with the idea but he was so cute. And he just smells like a baby all the time and I love sniffing his little head =) He is up to about 4 oz per feeding which seems like a lot to me but if I give him less he is still hungry.
We went to his first pedi appt last Thursday and he was 6lb 10oz. That is up 7oz from his weight when we were discharged from the hospital. He will go next tuesday for his 2 week check up.
He has the most adorable facial expressions and I love to just watch him for hours....I just stare...he probably thinks I am a creeper but I just cant help myself.
Breast feeding is going good....although I pump and bottle feed so I guess it isnt really breast feeding. But I have A TON of milk....I have a lot frozen now which is good. I plan to pump for about 3 more weeks then start formula. But with my supply he will be able to have breast milk for a little while after I stop pumping. He does really great with the bottles. I was pleasently surprised. He sure hasnt ever had a problem eating! He latched right on in the delivery room.
Here are some pictures over the last 10 days.

Ok. This was short and I know I still have to tell you all about my labor and delivery experience and I promise I will do so as soon as I can devote the time! Love to all!!
