It has been one heck of a week with our new addition. We came home from the hospital and Max developed a fever that day along with a nice runny nose cold. Dusty and I were lucky enough to also get the cold that Max had within a couple days so the first few days were rough. On top of that Rory was having digestive issues as her body adjusted to nursing. I was told to nurse on demand to help her get over her issues but nursing on demand with Rory meant almost non-stop which lead to tissue trauma for me. Yeah, the first week was a bit rougher than we expected but things are slowly getting better.

We are now supplementing formula at night for Rory. I need that time to heal for the following day's feedings and Rory seems to be thriving on this new schedule, she even slept 6 hours between a feeding last night! I also have to thank everyone for their advice on putting her in her car seat at night. We tried it for the first time last night and it worked great, she even put herself to sleep in it after her 2am feeding! Assuming this continues to work, I am going to have to learn to sleep through all her noises. I forget how much noise they make in their sleep, I'm pretty sure they don't make that much noise when they are sleeping on you or maybe I'm just not as jumpy about it because they are sleeping right on me? But I really enjoy having my bed to myself so cross your fingers this continues to work!
