Mae
It's taken a bit to get to my computer but I'm here! I've caught up with my friends' page, though I haven't left comments yet.
Anyway, we're home. We got home on Wednesday around noon and have been busy setting up Mae's bassinets and figuring out what she needs. She has herself on a rather weird schedule- she cluster feeds in the night and then can sleep for five hours or so. During the day we're trying to keep her eating every three hours. Ben's been doing most of the work and I've been getting a lot of rest. I feel tired but not too bad. Very few dizzy spells and whatnot. I'm only bleeding lightly, unless I walk around too much. I'm engorged, but that's to be expected since I'm not nursing her anymore. The bottlefeeding has been going well and I'm happy with my decision. Like one of my nurses said, it's sad that breastfeeding triggers negative emotions but there's nothing I can do about that now. It's not too big of a surprise, since sensation in my breasts have always been linked to icky feelings. I was expecting it to be different, but it wasn't. So now I'll move on and bottlefeed my baby.
On to the stats & pictures:
Mae Frances Deutschle was born on 10/30/2006 at 12:21am. She weighed 7 lbs. 4 oz. and is 19 inches long. (She's lost some weight since then, but not too much.) Here are some photos (some are huge):
