Our Baby boy came home November 30th! He barely hit 4 lbs the 29th and all of a sudden, we had to find a car seat pronto! He came home with a monitor so he still has a wire hooked to him but we are grateful to have it. He has sleep apnea so it has this loud beep if he stops breathing. It's scary but reassuring at the same time. He is now 4 lbs 7 oz and growing all the time. Nursing is a trial, especially since he has been bottle fed before but he is doing so good, it's me that struggles getting it down. Charlie has been so good with him. She literally looses her mind when my family comes over, but other than that she is very mellow and sweet with Jack. When he cries she is so concerned. I had Jack in his swing one time and decided to try the music with it. Next thing I know Charlie is barking at the swing and didn't stop until I turned the music off. I really think she was protecting him and worried. So sweet. He is the loudest baby, grunting and moaning all the time. I love the sounds he makes, except when trying to sleep but I'm starting to get used to them. John is so great and helpful and I love my parents for coming over often and helping me so I can nap. We have breast milk stored so John can feed him a bottle every now and then so I can have a break. I just can't believe I'm a mom! It's always been such a sacred title and now I have it! It's very scary. Do you ever get used to the immense responsibility? Anyway, there's a little baby grunting for food so I must go! Motherly responsibilities await!
