Oh the times you will have

Note: I thought I posted this on 9/25 but realized I hadn't. Enjoy.

The last few days have been good. Mil's still hurting from all the pushing and all the surgery and all the putting up with me. Feeding have been good. We tightened up the leash on Grayson; she was feeding for 1hour and still rooting around a lot after; we'd have to resort to a pacifier or her hand because she needed to suckle. We decided to get a bit vigilant and feed her for 30-40 minutes total, but make sure she didn't doze in and out during her feedings. This seemed to work really well; it fills up her belly, she doesn't seem to need to suckle as much after, and she's sleeping well. The only realy downside is that Mil has to be on point while feeding to make sure Grayson doesn't fall asleep at the wheel.

The five of us (Mil, Grayson, Maggie, Susan, and me) took a walk and saw some neighbors. We only went down to the end of the block and back, but it was good to get out.

Grayson got her first bath yesterday. She loved the top half;


not so much on the bottom half.


Grayson's favorite part of the week was getting wrapped up in Mil's woobie. Note: this was only for a few minutes for pictures. Millie wasn't about to let the woobie get poop, pee, and spit up on her favorite blanky.


She isn't much on burping; maybe she's trying to be lady like.


Cutest piture of the last week:


Summary: Mom and Baby are good, Dad is good. My how the hours FLY. We'll write again soon.
