Our stay in the hospital was very nice (other than the hospital food). We got a lot of help from the nurses and doctors on how to breast feed and generally take care of Javi and myself. And, as you can see from the lovely picture of Hector in one of the earlier posts, the hospital room was very nice, with a beautiful view of the hills, where the trees are beginning to change color.
We came home Saturday afternoon and settled in quickly. Saturday night was a bit rough, as the nurses predicted. Javi was hungry and up frequently and my milk has not yet come in. This is what the nurses told us was to be expected. So, Hector and I were up most of the night and Javi cried much more than he has before. Hector and Javi hung out this morning together so I could sleep in and get a bit of rest. Then we all had a really lovely Sunday morning, enjoying some sunshine (Javi has a teeny bit of jaundice so we are getting him sunlight as we can.) We took a walk this afternoon and are all looking forward to naps.

Jen and Hector....Javi is adorable! Love the blog,
ReplyDeletenow we can enjoy watching him grow! This is so exciting. Love, Juana and Alfonso
Thanks, Juana! I'm hoping we can update a bit more regularly as things settle down into a routine (which will be soon, right?)
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to bringing him out to CA to meet you one of these days!
