Recovery

We are home and settled in-sorta. I am not sure what chris has talked about so ill give my version even if its the same story :P
So today we made a second trip to the hospital lab to get blood drawn from Wesley. He is jaundice and we were making sure it was within a reasonable range. It was a 12.9 yesterday and the same today. At this point we will not need to be doing anything for it. Other than of course continued good feedings and we can still do the sunlight I guess. I never delt with jaundice with Isabelle. Really each baby is so different and has its own things. He eats completely different than isabelle did. Altho, at this point not much different for me. I am engorged and have plugged ducks. I am wont be surprised if a fever starts. I am taking Tylenol3 so I may not notice a fever? Hopefully these feeding months will be easier. Wesley's weight was the same today as it was when we left the OB on wed. 7#14oz. The doctors office measured him almost an 1" bigger than the hospital did. How long is this baby really!?
So since we left the hospital wed. we have been back out thurs. & friday. I am ready to stay in and rest! Mom has been our driver and pack mule. She carries baby and baby stuff and I hold Isabelles hands. That is about all I'm good for. Isabelle complies pretty well. I feel much better being out doing this than what I would have with our 1st. Altho today its catching up with me. Along with the nursing pains im also getting a cold/sinus deal. A little cough to go with it and that is eh, painful. Isabelle also has a really thick cough and chris is stuffy. So we hope to stay in this weekend and rest from our little colds and really just rest up from a long 5 days of having a baby! Having a baby can really take it out of ya.. ya know :P
My mom has been helping out so much. Its so handy and nice. She does things our own way and sometimes I find myself wanting to go back and 'correct' it but really I am just SOO happy to have her. Isabelle has loved being with her so much this week. Kristy has also been a big blessing. She has provided us with 2 meals and desert! That has been very handy. Mom is trying to keep up with her house, dad, her own errands and then run my house too and make my driving trips and change all these diapers and up and down to get me items I need that it has been so great that she doesn't have to stop everything else to start a meal for us. We keep her busy enough. Chris went to work late thurs. and fri. I keep him on his toes too ;) Right now he is taking a much needed break and playing his wii. Isabelle watches and 'plays' along. Baby is sleeping.
Its kinda a pain that we can only update the blog at night. Once chris is home and has internet. So thanks for being patient with our seemingly slow updates. Really now that baby wesley is here and the biggest is done we would have less need to update. I would like to update on how the L/D and so on went while I sorta remember. I love to remember about it. Chris and I talk daily about how it went and what went on. He has told me about several things that happened or was said that I didn't know or had already forgotten. I.E I had forgot till last night that right as Wesley was making his grand entrance the nurse flipped on HAPPY BIRTHDAY music. It was weird! Like out of a twilight or something! It did kinda throw off my concentration but it was funny really. So that should be all for this. Right now I should make note. Isabelle is talking about one of her teddy bears. See, a few minutes ago chris told me she was watching something on tv like.. wild and crasiest moments or caught on tape sorta thing. They showed a bear at a zoo grabbing the shirt of a man thru the fence. The man i suppose was not hurt but it did upset her and chris said she started crying. So when I came in the room she told me about it. What are we letting our daughter watch you want to know!? The rest of it was pretty good. She enjoyed watching the people fall down or the dogs go round and round. So now, she has found a little teddy bear and its already bringing back painful memories. Its sorta precious.
