Daytime is good

So far, Will has fallen into a schedule that works for him and we are adjusting to. He did great all day yesterday, but he still is not really interested in going to sleep until about 11:30-12:00 am. However, he has been sleeping until about 3:30 am. He then wants to nurse, be changed and then go back to sleep. It seems like with time we can get adjusted to this easy enough. The biggest thing right now is that Bridget is engorged and really sore. She really does seem to have TONS of milk, even though she is expressing regularly as well. Will was weighed yesterday at the lactation consultant and he actually had not lost an appreciable amount of weight. When we left the hospital he was 7 lbs 9 oz, while yesterday he was 7 lbs 8 1/2 oz. Last night Doyle, Katy and Kyle came over for diner and Ian stopped by on his way to go hunting and spent the night. Understandingly due to her engorgement, Will felt more up to socializing than Bridget did. The goal for today, as Cindy the nurse would say, is REST, ice and frequent nursing! If anybody has any good tips let us know. He really seems to like his bouncy/swing seats that Bridget's cousin gave him. Do you think Ian is ready for fatherhood? Check out the 4:00 am picture below.

Someone needs to tell Ian that newborn baby's shouldn't be held that same way as baby pups he has just delivered. ;)
