Hunter is 10 days old today!!! I can not believe how fast time is going by! I still can't believe I am a Mom. It just doesn't seem real! We have been pretty lucky. These 1st days have been pretty wonderful!
I have fallen in love with Alan all over again. He is so wonderful with Hunter! He is so, so proud of him and helps with with anything and everything. In the 1st days home he felt like he had to get up when I got up so he would be up washing dishes when I was feeding Hunter! I think I've finally convinced him that it's okay to sleep. I told him if he could feed him with his boob, I'd be more than happy to let him. We have a pretty good system going on at night. Hunter wakes up, Alan changes him, I feed him, he goes back to sleep! It takes him about an hour to nurse though, he's a slow eater....unlike his daddy!
On Saturday, we left him for the 1st time while we went out to eat for his birthday! I had some guilt about leaving him so early, but we were only going 3 1/2 hours and we left him with my Mom. I KNOW she took good care of him...and spoiled him! I was afraid that the longer I waited the harder it would be to leave him! Breastfeeding is going pretty good, but I don't think he's gaining weight. He goes back to the doctor tomorrow so we will see what they suggest.
We have been so lucky to have such good friends and family! Hunter has had lots of visitors and it seems like someone is always asking us if we need anything! We are BEYOND blessed! I am one happy Momma!
