Just Mommy and Daddy...

Last night it was just Mommy and Daddy and today was the first full day alone with Raychel. It had been so nice to have both grandmas here and plenty of people stopping by to help and "play" with Raychel, but it is also nice to have her all to ourselves!

Last night Raychel went to sleep about 12:45, but woke up by 1:00. Daddy rocked her back to sleep at 1:15 and she slept for another 1/2 an hour. Then, she woke up again at 1:45 and Daddy (Mommy didn't even hear her) rocked her for another hour! At 2:45 she slept till 5:45 and then slept again until 10:00! Daddy gets a lot of credit for hearing her and spending a lot of time getting her back to sleep...I didn't even know the world existed at that point! Between the two of us, we are getting the hang of this!

Derek got to sleep in this morning, something he needed after a long day and night! Raychel had a good nap this afternoon, allowing me to have a great nap too! It is sooo nice to lay on my stomach, on the couch, and take a nap! WOW...it really is the "little" things that make a day great!

Raychel is eating 2oz. at a time now, almost every time she eats (every 2 hours). So, we are excited that she is doing so well on the formula! Unfortunately, my supply does not appear to be increasing. We will most likely continue to feed her with formula. Definitely NOT in the plans, but there are some things that are just out of our control! We will try for a few more days to establish a supply.
