Day One Down

Last night was rough, naturally. I'm tough, but AJ is tougher!

She is a tough chick though, that's for sure. They kept having to take her blood sugars at the hospital, and she didn't even cry with the pin prick. She's been poked as much as a pin cushion but she only got annoyed when they uncovered her legs.

It's tough work learning what she needs/wants and I've already learned not to assume. I knew it would be hard but I also know I didn't realize how hard until last night. That's ok though. It's all part of the contract I signed LOL! And it's worth it.

I'm really exhausted. I didn't sleep hardly 2 hours last night. Not complaining, just getting it all out here :D It wouldn't have been so bad if I hadn't had to wake her up every 2 hours for feedings, which naturally leads to a diaper change an hour later. So... Feed for 30 minutes, calm her for 10-15, lay down for 15, she wakes up, change her for 10 minutes cause I'm still slow, then calm her for a while and do it all over again. Jaundice ain't fun! Luckily it isn't a bad case, and this is just precaution to make sure she's peeing/pooping enough to clean herself out. She is, I think.

That merconium... meconium... ? The tarry poop isn't as bad as I thought it'd be, and I never thought I'd be so happy and proud that my infant peed... Man I'm delirious!
