More from us...

A few more pictures from the hospital:






I was there three nights, and definitely ready to go home when we did. They said we could stay another night- in fact, both doctors actually recommended it, but we were ready to be back in our own house, and back with Riley, too. So, we headed home on Sunday, and the first night was pretty rough. I don't think I got a whole lot of sleep, between being in pain, not being able to lay flat at all and really still not moving around much except to go to the bathroom. We slept downstairs, thinking it would be easier on me, and also not sure if I could walk up the stairs yet. I slept in the chair!! Annie did well...she was up a lot, but overall, we survived.

Things are much better now...I am starting to feel better and can move around a lot better...Annie is a great eater and an ok (although very loud) sleeper. We are starting to learn more about each other. She is an excellent nurser, thankfully...I need to write a whole post about breastfeeding issues....

She had her fist pediatrician appt yesterday- she is 8 lbs 15 oz, so almost back up to her birthweight and still 22 inches. That makes her 50th percentile for weight, and 95th for length!!! We have one tall baby! But her weight is just average, so even though she feels and seems big to me after Riley, she is just right!!
