Daddy got peed and pooped on - man the stream seriously shot out so fast Daddy had no response time. I am going to love this parenting thing.
Mommy broke her "rule" of no baby in bed. Well this was necessary this morning as I am still unable to lift him out of the crib (even though the crib goes right by the bed) by myself. My stomach muscles are still very tender. So I guess it was a necessary at this point. Moreover, I have tossed any ideas of "rules".
Jeremy gets up and gets him out of the crib for me while I "prep" for feeding. Breast feeding is going really well. My milk is in and he is finally getting a full belly. Our first night was pretty good - he fed every 2 1/2 to 3 hours. We slept when he slept. It wasn't too bad.
Jeremy has been wonderful - I have changed probably two diapers to date. Daddy changes his diaper and burps him. We have a process that makes things alot easier especially if he decides to be fussy.
Hudson's daddy likes to sing "9 times out of 10 he is cute like his Papa" - and likes to make up names for his poopy diapers. His commentary while changing diapers is pretty funny and more so when lack of sleep and Vicodin come into play.
All in all, so far so good. I am looking forward to being able to move better. Apparently since I didn't have the nesting period before I had him, it is kicking in now. When we got home from the hospital last night I couldn't sit down, I was cleaning and organizing like crazy. Jeremy finally told me to sit down and I knew I had over done it. I am going to have to take it easy. I give myself one project a day and I will work my way up from there.
Another surprising development is that I am pretty mellow and PATIENT now. My hormones are non-existent at this point. I guess I am just weird because people keep asking me how my hormones are doing. Fine. I feel really relaxed at this point (of course all of this is subject to change at any moment.)

Yay for the milk coming in! Sometimes breastfeeding can be a battle; I'm so glad that it's going well.
Welcome home and what the H$%L are you doing cleaning and organizing for? Julie and I can come over and be put to work while you eat Mooses tooth. He is a cutie, good work.
I can just see JJGW singing along to poopy diapers. LOL. Glad you are feeling mellow and good...can't wait to see ya! :)
Sounds good... We always brought the babies to bed and aunt Jan had all 4 in bed and was a social worker supervisor. Worked for us! Hey grandpa wants a video of the jerb singing while diaper doo-ty
He is so cute!! Rules? I broke all the rules and created new ones. Whatever works for you is the rule!
I love to hear stories of the first days at home. I think those are going to be the scariest for us. I am nervous about my milk not coming in (I have no idea why). Good to hear the nesting thing can kick in afterwards....I haven't had it yet either. I know she is coming, but I guess it isn't quite real yet. I am excited that things are going so well for you.
I'm so glad you're home and doing well! Like everyone else has said, he's GORGEOUS!
