OUCH! That HURTS!

Friday,
So, the last couple of days have been about quality time with the four of us - you know, me, Michael, my right breast and my left breast. We've been practicing latching on properly. On the up side, Michael is taking to the breast. We've only had two bottles in the last 24 hours, and that's only because I needed a break. On the down side, it's tough feeling like a 24-hour diner. Oh, and, in case you didn't catch it from the title of this post - IT HURTS!
Michale is thriving. His cheeks and legs are filling out and he's developed a bit of a gut, so he's starting to look less fragile. He also feels heavier. I have to say that my only complaint is that he only sleeps for 2.5 hour stretches. I'm exhausted! After next week I'm scheduled to go back to work part-time. I'll be working from home, but I'm worried if I'll be able to get anything gone. I may have to work after Vince gets home. I do see about a 3 hour stretch in the morning where Michael sleeps, so that may be some prime work time as well.
My sister is in town to help me through next week. I'm so excited she is here! I tell ya, I do not know what we would have done without our family in the last few weeks. They have been a God send.
