I'm not sure where to begin. We brought Summer home on Monday. Everything has been great...except some of the nightly feedings...LOL We gave her a lotion bath on Tuesday which was not too bad. She did cry, but she did not scream the whole time. I will probably give her another bath this evening. She is sleeping a lot, but not as much as she did in the hospital. Two nights ago, I had two 1 hour long feedings which was not fun at all. The next morning I called my mom and she said it is time to give her a pacifier because she is just using my boob as the pacifier. So, yesterday we tried the pacifier. She is still getting used to it, but it is working. When I was looking at buying a pacifier, I was thinking they were kind of expensive. But now, I think I would pay $100 for one. It is my new best friend. I was really hesitant to give her one at first because I just wasn't ready to go there. My mom assured me that it was better than letting her find her thumb. She reminded me that I can take the pacifier away, but not the thumb. Other than that, nursing is going pretty good.
Summer is so precious!!! I love it when she opens her eyes so I can look at them while I talk to her. Those are the best times right now. Well, she just fell asleep so I'm going to hop in the shower while I can.
