I was going to try and only breastfeed but last night Ethan wasn't having it. It was too hungry and I couldn't give him enough. I decided since he is so small he needs all the food he wants so I let the ladies in the nursery give him formula and keep him all night so I could sleep. I figured it was going to be my last good night of sleep for awhile. They said he did really good.
The pediatrician came and released the baby to go home. He weighs 4lb 7oz. But he eats good. My OB came and released me too. No lifting anything heavier than the baby for 6 weeks. That is easier said then done with JR at the house. Cassandra is not going to her dad's for the weekend so she can help me with the two kids. I am glad she is older and can help.
John switched and worked this morning instead of night so he could be home and put JR to sleep. The hospital gave us steak dinners for two for having the baby. Steak, baked potato, bread, it was good. And I got to eat chocolate cake, yeah.
We got home about 4pm. Cassandra is happy with her new little brother. JR doesn't care either way. I think he will when Ethan gets old enough to play a little.
All I want to do is be in bed and sleep. Luckily that is all Ethan wants to do to.
