I read backwards.
I got this far: http://www.livejournal.com/users/callistra/friends?skip=700
Note the SEVEN HUNDRED at the end? Yeah, THAT far. Mind you, I skipped a lot, skimmed a lot, and really only paid attention when it was a post from friends. :-)
I'm tired. In the hospital, I was averaging about three naps a day plus most of a night's sleep. Today, I got a one hour sleep in the morning, and the rest of my usual nap times were taken up with coming home or cleaning up the hospital room.
I'd like to say thanks to everyone for all the wishes, thoughts, and comments. I've tried to write my birthstory, I got about half way through before I needed a nap, so I'll try again probably tomorrow, once I've fired up the laptop again, and I'll also write a long story about the hospital and midwives and see if I can answer every one's questions for them. Last night, we were in bed by 8:00. It was nice. It looks like I'm not to be so lucky tonight, but I'm sure it will all work out.
Vincent is terribly, terribly precious. I'm a bit sad right now because our first feed outside of the hospital involved a bit of a temper tantrum and my being very tired means I'm feeling a bit sad and keep crying all over John! But hey, more details on that later I am sure.
Glad to be home.

11pm Feed was a Success!
Aug. 17th, 2005 11:27 pmI feel much better about life in general now. Plus the one and a half hours sleep seems to have helped.

Now, to try and ignore the wailing because it's play time from his point of view, and sleep time from Mum and Dad's point of view. I have been assured this will only happen for about two nights before he gets the idea, but it's still kind of nerve wracking, even if we do know that it's not an "I'm hungry" or an "I need burping" cry.
