THANK GOD FOR FAMILY. Let me just say it again. Kate has been a superstar, taking fussy Lucia and feeding her after a (another) failed breastfeeding attempt and meltdown, and letting me nap for THREE HOURS. God love her. My brother Josh came over tonight too, and has been a great help.
It was great to bring her home. Really great. She's sleeping in the bassinet now and I'm so thankful I don't have to go back to the NICU to see her anymore. We brought the NICU staff a huge platter of muffins and scones to thank them for everything. They rule.

The bfing will come...try not to get discouraged...it will make it harder. The biggest lesson I had to learn was to not beat myself up about it...when I figured that out it got so so much better. The sleep was probably all that much better after her being home.
Can I borrow Kate? I've had a fussy one here all day!
Welcome Home Baby Lucia!!!
That is such great news !
Welcome home baby Lucia!!
:)
Bless Kate. Mothers, sisters, friends, aunts- Family who swing in and help after a baby comes = automatic sainthood.
(p.s. I called the lactation specialist several times after baby number one. I even went back a couple of times to the hospital for some extra help. She was a lifesaver.)
