If I thought pregnancy hormones were bad, post-partum hormones are worse.
Cam is all out of sorts. He's trying so hard to get our attention and its not usually in the best way. I think I can do more physically than I can and I end up hurting because of it. I seem to always forget that I had surgery and I won't bounce back like I did after having Cam. Getting in and out of bed is a chore, my ankles are swollen and I just have no energy. I don't know what I'm going to do when Steve goes back to work.
Today Arianna and I went to the Breast Feeding Group at the hospital. She weighs 6lbs 4oz so she still isn't close to her birth weight. I weighed her after each feeding and she took in a little over an ounce. I'm going to go back again on Wednesday before we go to the Pediatrician.
I have to thank the girls yet again for all their support. I don't know what I'd do without you guys! I love you guys!! I know I haven't called everyone back, thank you for the well wishes and concern. I will call you back I promise, we're just trying to adjust and get used to each other right now.

Arianna is such a doll! I can't wait to see her little personality come out over the next few months. The picture of Cam holding her in the hospital is just precious!
Call me anytime. I know that it's hard now, but before you know it you're sleeping through the night. Just remember that you only have this time when they are little once. You'll be cleaning your house forever! Relax and if you want me to take Cam to play with Emma just let me know. Don't overdo it and don't remove the steri strips!!!
It is hard but most good things in life seem to be that way! DO NOT over do it! Speaking from someone who has been there, easier said then done I know. Cam will be fine and settle in over the next few days. I know Steve is home but if he wants to drop Cam off on morning to play feel free! We are here for whatever you need!!!!
I love the pictures. The 2 of them together is priceless! Take it easy!! Sleep when she sleeps! I know easier said than done but try! Cam will adjust over the next few days. You are an awesome mom and we are here if you need anything. HUGS!
