Update

Well, we got home yesterday. All is great. I have to say, I thought that the whole c-section thing would be a lot worse than it has been. It still hurts a little, really it burns more than anything, but he said that was normal and that it was healing fine. Madelyn is fabulous. She has been such an easy baby. Really she only cries when she's hungry, and she's done pretty well with feeding on a schedule. She lost a little too much weight in the hospital...she went from 7-4 to 6-7, so we've had to make some adjustments in the feeding area since it was more than 10%. We're doing triple feeds & supplementing with formula until she starts gaining. I was a little upset at first, but she's doing really well with it. We had to take her to the pediatrician this morning and tomorrow morning to have her biliruben levels checked since they were a little high yesterday. She had only lost 1 more ounce, so that was good, and he said he wasn't terribly concerned about the levels. Hopefully tomorrow we'll be given the green light. She did really well with getting stuck. She cried for about 30 seconds and then she was fine. There was another baby next door having the same thing done and he cried for 15 minutes. Daisy is in love with Madelyn! My parents brought her home today, and David is getting the others right now. The only thing is that we have to watch her with trying to lick...but if Madlyn cries, Daisy gets upset and tries to figure out what to do. She actually barked at me because (we think) she thought I was hurting her (she was just hungry!). We of course have tons of pictures, but I have to get them all downloaded. Hopefully we can get them on tomorrow! David has gone picture crazy. He's not a proud daddy =) You know, for someone who said he had no clue what to do with newborns, he is more than a natural. He was especially helpful those first several hours when I still couldn't move because of the epidural. I think I've changed 2 diapers since she was born. So, more pictures promised (especially for my dad, since he has to go back to NY next week), and I've created a new Lily Pie ticker.
