So, for those of you who have been dying for an album of pictures to see, here you go. I won't put them all in this blog post, but you can check out the album here:
We're slowly figuring things out. Saturday night was a little rough - Juniper didn't want to feed much even though she had to have been hungry, and so the three of us were awake most of the night. When she did sleep, she didn't want to do it lying down, and would only sleep against one of our shoulders. Then she finally fed at about 5 am, fell asleep, and promptly projectile vomited everything up. Luckily we had a midwife appointment the next morning, and she explained that likely what was happening was that she had mucus in her tummy that was making it upset all night (therefore not wanting to feed), and then the vomiting brought it up. This was all very reassuring.
The other big hurdle to figure out, especially for Tara, is how to get enough sleep. Naps are key, but that hasn't been as easy as it sounds... not for lack of opportunity, but rather because Tara just can't seem to fall asleep in the day, despite extreme exhaustion. Perhaps that's just another one of those skills that will come out of necessity.
