First Week

We have survived the first week at home as a family. It is great to have Claire home and to be able to hold her as much as we want (which is lots!) I am struggling with juggling feeding times, pumping times and cuddling times. I am looking forward to her becoming competent at breastfeeding so I can spend less time pumping milk.

As I was burping Claire about an hour ago she was up on my shoulder and started sucking on my arm. I laughed and laughed. I guess she didn't want to take a break for burping.

We finally took some pictures of her at home today. Mark is posting them to flikr right now.

My mom is coming tomorrow. Hurray. It has been a challenge to feed ourselves with the busyness of feeding and caring for Claire.
