We JUST GOT HOME!

WE just got home...The dogs are so curious about Carly. I think Roxy thinks she's a toy. Trying to get situated. Its all so exciting, but we are very tired.

Wow, my breasts are SO SORE! She's latching on right, but I still have completely RAW nipples. Carly has a strong suck. I'm putting lots of lanolin on and I'm wearing those little gel pads. My boobs are also totatly filling up with milk, but I don't think that Carly's drinking enough of it. She has been passing out while she's on the breast this afternoon, then she has to reattach while I shiver with pain. I heard these first few weeks are the worst and then it gets easier. The nurse said I could ice myself before breastfeeding, which I haven't tried yet. I'm on Vicodin and 800mg of IBUProfen which you would think would help the pain. Maybe the Vicodin is doping her up.

Tina and I can't believe how wonderful it is to have Carly in our lives. WE imagined her so many times, but she is better than the dream.
