June 30, 2008 : Samuel is home!

Samuel is where he needs to be. Right here at home with us!

Before we left the hospital they had me breastfeed him and then supplement with the bottle (because he's been getting formula at the hospital since my milk hasn't come in yet.) So we are breastfeeding (he does pretty well, but falls asleep rather quickly) and when he's done about 15 minutes on each side we go ahead and give him a bottle. He didn't finish his bottle after he breastfed at the hospital. To me that's an accomplishment! Hopefully, now my body will realize there is a baby eating rather than a pump and my milk will show up.



** Just a little while ago he fell asleep at the breast and i couldn't get him to wake up, so I let him nap some more. He woke ready to eat. Ate 15 minutes at eat breast and then didn't want the bottle!!!! Is it silly that that makes me feel like I'm on cloud 9?
