Simulated Natural Nest Incubation~Experiment #1 So it begins....

Bee, you can appreciate this... the meaties are smart enough to get out of the rain!

Wish I had more room to let them roam but the Amish kids next door would chase them with sticks if they find them and these birds couldn't get away.

I feel pretty darn good, honestly. Cramping isn't bad, managing with occasional Motrin. They can keep the Lortabs. The beauty of not using a lot of medication is that it actually works when you need it. The Demerol knocked me out.... I was SO loopy

I'm moving around, resting, taking care of the little one. I did decide to feed a bit of supplemental formula after each breast feeding, just so I'm not dealing with jaundice again. Why go through that hassle if you can prevent? She's not a great eater either way right now.. 1oz was the most she ate from the formula, 1/2 oz most feeds. She doesn't care for the pacifier.. not a huge fan of the nipple on the bottles.. I think we'll be fine in the "nipple confusion" department.

My dear, we've been quite concerned. So happy for you and family. I would say now you can relax but.............

Congratulations Tomtommom! Yes, now you can rest a bit before going home. Let the hospital do it for a day or two cuz Lord knows you're not gonna have that kind of help at home.

And a very happy birthday to Bee and Amelia Eleanora! We all know, she's in good company.

Oh wow! What a special day! Tomtommom! Your little angel is gorgeous! I know you are worn out. That was some kind of labor/delivery! Bless both of you and your family!

Happy Birthday Bee!!

Tomtommom, congrats on your baby girl! She is beautiful! Oh my, what a delivery! I was really hoping you wouldn't need pitocin. I know how rough that stuff is! I was induced early with both of my boys, the first at 36 weeks--- and that was after putting our foot down with the doctor to wait that long! I was shoved into the preeclampsia category after having high BP readings twice and every time after. I could go on and on and tell you how and why I disagreed with the doctor, but I have a Bachelor's degree in art, not a MD.

Can't wait to see pics of the Hootie Hatch!!
