The first night home

Leah and Fi came home from hospital yesterday and we spent our first night at home together. The night didn’t go too well at first. If you had been at the 24h Tescos in Waterford around 3am you would have seen a red Volvo wandering around the parking lot and a sleepy dad looking for Aptamil infant milk. Fi had been breast feeding since birth and Leah seemed to be doing well but last night she just wasn’t getting what she wanted. After two hours or so of fretting and crying we brought in the bottle. Leah nearly inhaled the 90ml and promptly fell fast asleep at 4am. She woke again at 7am for another good feed and passed out till 10am for another feed. Hopefully this means a 3 hour cycle which isn’t too bad. She is sleeping now and by 1am should be good for her lunch.

Oh the painful joys of feeding before the milk comes in - mine both did about 22 hours out of 24, then settled into blissful every 2 -3 hours the next day when I was close to exploding and needed them to feed more. Babies can be so contrary - perhaps it's actually their first foray into toddlerhood ;)

Sleepy at 3am? Surely all the best code gets written between 2am and 5 am, those magical hours where an increase in delusion meets a decrease in discernment. You'll have to be careful though or little Leah will only be able to recognise her father with a keyboard attached to his hands and a camera stuck to his face :)
