First Week at home with Katie

I feel so blessed. My parents, John and the girls went WAY above the call of duty to help me during recovery at home. I had to pump every three to four hours and try to nurse every 3 hours. I felt as if that is all I did. We had to supplement with formula at first because I didn't have my milk. So, for a couple of weeks, that was my schedule. I was so exhausted and upset that I couldn't just feed Katie like I did the other girls when they were tiny. :(  Praise the Lord, it wasn't much longer before my milk came in and I was able to nurse exclusively. :) I didn't think I would be able to ever stop using that pump. I am so glad I only had to use it for the first month. :) 

Right now, I am writing this as Katie is 2 months old. I am trying to recall everything, so I know I am leaving a lot out. I am so sorry the first couple of posts were so insanely long. :) It was hard to try to recall everything two months later. I am just trying to catch up so I can begin to blog on a daily basis. Then, these posts won't be too long. :)

I can remember during the first few weeks home, I would just look at Katie and cry and thank God that she is here with us and is healthy and alright. I still do that to this day. I will probably always do that. She is such a miracle and we are enjoying every moment. :) She is such a peaceful baby and we just have so much fun with her. What a precious gift from the Lord.

Here are some photos from the first week home. :)
