Getting the hang of things

I will say the one major benefit of Gabriel being in the hospital for two weeks is that he came home on a schedule! I was still struggling to work mine out between feeding him, pumping, my daily nurse visits (UGH), doctor's apppointments (weekly for both of us), sleeping and oh yeah... showering (which because of my open incision I was only allowed to do sideways and just before the nurse came).

Doesn't matter, none of it mattered, Gabriel was ruling the day! We were all getting used to each other. Gabriel's personality was starting to show more and more. Rahja cried everytime he cried, it was really cute. Keven and I would move him from one overly padded location to the next. I am surprised no one has come out with an actual baby bubble. I would have bought it!

Before he was born I was full "I am not going to do this" and "I don't want to do that" thinking that I was going to be so tough about the whole thing. Yeah right. He had me wrapped around his finger from the start. I think the fact that he was a preemie just amplified everything. I have to protect him from the world!...and play with him too...as you can see from his first mohawk below.



His meals were up to 50ML's now. I had to track every drop he drank.
