And baby makes four.

Here the four of us in the hospital.  And now we're home!

I'm still trying to wrap my head around the fact that we have more than one child now.  I mean, it's an easy concept.  There was one, now there are two.  It's just different.  I like it!

I keep trying to talk to Madison more.  I keep finding myself asking her, "Are you ok?"  "Do you like your sister?"  I'm afraid that eventually she's going to tell me something like, "Mom, you're neglecting me." or, "You like the baby more than you like me."  Both statements aren't true, but I do have to spend lots of time with the baby to feed her and whatnot.  Part of the reason I didn't want to breastfeed this time around, but I am anyway.  I can buy lots of toys with the money we'd save, hah.  It would be nice to split up that responsibility though.

Right now the baby is all Jaundice-y.  Apparently the baby doesn't like my blood type, so she's actually resisting my milk.  I'm still breast feeding, but we're also supplementing with formula too.  I suppose we'll find out on Monday where we go from here after we take her to the doctor's.

It's late- she was just fed and is now cleaned up and in her cradle.  I'm off to bed.  Best thing to do when she'll be waking me up in... 2-3 hours.  Ugh.

  1. I hope Lily is okay. Danielle was jaundiced as an infant, to treat her she had to have light therapy she had to stay under special lights. I will call you guys, love you, Barb
