She's a champ at nursing, but how long does it take before I stop wanting to scream everytime she latches on? (Seriously, I can't remember - and it kills!). The nights are alright. She's usually up until about 12am-1am and wakes up every 1.5 to 2.5 hours - I'm surviving on adrenaline and sugar (thanks neighbors! :)
Darek is handling things pretty well. The first couple of days home were tricky. He acted like Blayne and I had betrayed him. It absolutely broke my heart - he didn't want me to sit by him, talk to him, or help him with anything. I cried after he went to bed our first night home. Luckily my parents were there to pour love and attention on him. He wanted my dad by his side constantly - all day long we'd hear him saying "Pop!" And my dad was there to play cars, read books, and run all over the house.
My mom left Thursday which also brought me to tears. I was seriously scared to be left alone with two kids. Plus she kept the house clean and everything humming, besides keeping me entertained. Luckily, Blayne has been wonderful and he has this week off work. All in all it's a trip to think that we're parents to 2 kids, but what a blessing.
