It's Sunday, day two at home. Our first night went well in comparison to the first night with Caleb. We used our past experience to our benefit and made use of our baby swing in our bedroom for easy watching over the little guy. Our Florida room was extremely handy for going to for the late night feedings. The French doors are so good for keeping the noise in and so I could feed the little one without disturbing anyone. I set up all the necessary things for late night changing in our room and was able to change a few diapers with no trouble.
Caleb is doing as well as any three year old would when he's no longer the only kid in the house. He's acting up to get attention and is frustrated at times when he has to wait. But, he is a loving big brother and likes to check on him and know where he's at. We have one of his stools by the crib so that he can stand up and look in on his baby brother.
Cameron is doing well and is a sleeply little newborn. But, trying to get him up during the day to eat often and safe the sleeping for naptime. I made sure to talk to the hospital about the difference between waking a sleeping baby and yet their rule of thumb about feedings at least every four hours. Even the second time around it can be confusing with the different opinions and advice!
All in all, we're doing well so far and the second time around I do think that we have a stronger confidence sooner than we did before. I am looking forward to things only going up from here and getting even smoother in our routines.
Will post when possible but still trying to rest and nap as often as possible. Wanted to get the first shots up here now and then it may be a few days before I return.
Hope everyone is doing well. Thanks for all of the well wishes and positive thoughts as C-day came and went!
