Melody has been home for 3 whole days. She is sleeping well at night, going 3 to 4 hours at a time. She has also figured out how to nurse already, so that is a wonderful blessing as all the pumping was really getting old and time consuming. The home health nurse stopped by today and said she looks great. She weighed in at 6 pounds 7 ounces. That is a gain of 3 ounces. We are noticing that she is moving her feet and legs more and more each day. This is very encouraging.

Today we actually managed to get school work accomplished, though we probably wouldn't have eaten much more than cold cereal without Grandma here to fix meals. I am feeling good overall, but get tired easily and am ravenous most of the time. I think I overdid it today, so I am feeling more pain tonight. A reminder that I am not yet two weeks past my c-section. We are slowly losing the masks around here as everyone is starting to feel better. But, the hand washing continues.
