all home together...

yes, i know. we've been home 4 days. and i haven't posted. i'm busy. :-) coming home with our little miss has been a lot more work that I thought it would be.
i will try to keep up with the posting the best I can, i know little miss darla jane has quite the fan club.

Around 4:oo Monday afternoon we were finally on our way home. Mom, Dad and baby. I was nervous about just putting her in the car and driving home. Nathan said "Hurry, lets go. Before they tell us we have to leave her here. I sat in the back seat of the car so that I could keep an eye on her. We got home and all of her supplies were delivered, including a nurse who helped us set up Darla Jane's food pump. It kept beeping and the nurse told us it was probably just the formula making it stop. Well after 4 hours of it beeping and having to reset it we called the home health company and they said they would have a new pump delivered...before midnight. So just before midnight a new pump came and we haven't had a problem since then.

She has slept well every night since we have been home, usually getting around 8 hours. That doesn't mean that I get 8 straight hours...with changing her milk in her feeding pump, medicines and "expressing" myself I'm up a bit. But last night I worked the system and was only up twice for about a half hour each, from 11 to 7ish.
Her days are usually a little more cranky but I will take a cranky day over a cranky night any time. So most of the time during the day she is wanting to be held, and varies on how she wants to be held...and who she wants to hold her. And if it's not right, she will let you know. It is because of this, and the time it takes to manage everything that I am so thankful for all the help we have. With family in town and meals being brought in. Nathan and I would definitly not be able to do this on our own.
Thank you.

But she is doing great...getting stronger each day.
