HOME AT LAST!

After nearly 6 long weeks, Maggie is finally home. We were discharged yesterday afternoon from the NICU. Maggie is doing just great. Cece loved meeting her sister and was very cute during their first encounter. She has been trying to figure out how to help out with the baby, and we're trying to figure that out too.

Maggie has been great for us. She is a perfect angel. She is eating every 3 hours or so. We have to be sure to wake her if she doesn't wake up 3-4 hours since her last feeding. We are working moving from bottle feeds to nursing, but still have to make sure she is eating enough to stay hydrated and gain weight. We have to nurse, then offer her a bottle.

At some point she'll be weaned off of the bottles. The more practice she gets and the stronger she gets the faster this will go. For now, it's a lot of work, but totally worth it.

It's so nice to get to know Maggie more. I've actually heard her cry a few times. She is an easy baby. She just eats and easily goes back to sleep. Cece is not so easy, but happy that Mom is finally home, too.
