I'm too tired for a real update.

altarflameSo here's a bunch of pictures :)
On our way to the hospital to get Jake...ever since the hurricane that bag of dried fruit has been a staple around here. Note the stylish army helmet Aaron chose for our trip.
In the parking garage.
We were getting ready to leave when I realized it was already feeding time again, by the hospital's schedule.
Back at home, in the sling Sara sent...I call this "Unflattering Clothes and Expression" :p
I'm not sure he likes it. Perhaps because Strong Bad is beating him up? He ALWAYS wants to be upright, hates being held "like a baby", so the Kozy is already a huge hit. But I wonder if it's ok for him to spend a lot of time upright, since he can't support his own weight yet. He does well with his head, for the most part, but his back is what I'm worried about...anyone know about this?
I have a feeling I'm going to be spending a LOT of time doing this...my milk supply is really and truly insane. Everytime I've pumped for the last 24 hours, I get 10 ounces and then stop just because my hand is tired.
LOOK at him!
:)
Aaron really likes him.
What the heck is this thing?
Well, Aaron, when they cut the cord yada yada yada...
This is a dilemma. In the NICU they let them sleep on their stomachs to their hearts' content, as they rest better that way and they're hooked up to leads and monitors and would sound alarms if they stopped breathing for even a couple of seconds. So then they come home and they won't sleep any other way, even though you've been warned that the nurses don't advocate tummy sleeping at home. So do I think, well, he was high birth weight, is exclusively breastfed and unexposed to cigarette smoke, he already lifts his head and squirms and we're co-sleeping, so he's got pretty much no chance of SIDS...or do I stay cautious even though it means he fusses and wiggles non-stop unless picked up? Dirty scheming nurses...
I thought I would feel overwhelmed with emotion today. I don't, though. I just feel super duper relaxed, like something has loosened inside. And it makes me realize just how incredibly tense and tied up in knots I've been.
