Success!!!
This is what success looks like to me today!
That would be 50 cc's of breastmilk!!! I've spent days and days pumping 7, 10, 20 cc's and all of a sudden, BANG, 50 comes out. I swear I felt like poor Lauren was starving to death, always looking hungry and rooting and making her baby bird face at me.
All the lactation consultants assured me that yes, eventually my milk would come in, and no, Lauren wouldn't starve as long as she was making X amount of dirty diapers per day. But it's the worst feeling in the world, not being able to feed your child.
But now I'm thrilled to be able to go out and buy nursing bras and a nursing cover so I can nurse in public. YAY!!!!!
Off to take a well deserved nap!

Homecoming
Baby Lauren Grace is home, as of yesterday afternoon! Zampano and I were so exhausted that this cell phone photo was the only one we took for the occasion. My camera and cell phone were packed away somewhere in the cartload of stuff we brought home from the hospital.
But as of this afternoon we are all doing well, after having a few good meals and at least *some* sleep. Lauren even had her first home sponge bath last night. Apparently baby has inherited her mom and dad's greasy hair. :)
I am really struggling with breastfeeding. Don't ever let anyone tell you it's easy. It's way, way harder than I ever could have imagined, and I was warned going in to expect a challenge.
Anyway, I present to you the grand Flickr set of baby photos...

A+ sleeper
After a very rough first night, Lauren Grace had a much better second night, sleeping 3 and 4 hours at a time. Mom and dad are soooo impressed!!

Still breech!
They didn't do the weight or length or anything at the ultrasound, just confirmed that she was still head up. And I have never been so happy! I can't wait to meet her!!!
She is frank breech, which means her feet are up by her head. We got to see her 5 cute little toes, but she was kind of hiding her face, which is why this ultrasound is not the greatest.
I still cannot believe that we will be parents tomorrow! The car seat is in the car, the bottles are in the dishwasher, the huge box of diapers sits in the baby's room.... And it still hasn't really sunk in. But tomorrow, our lives change forever. I can't wait....
And now, Zampano and I are off to the fairgrounds to enjoy one last day of freedom before heading off to the hospital at 5:15AM... With any luck, we'll have pictures and details posted by noon tomorrow!
