Nini decided to take a 1/2 day off work and come over to help us out. She picked up lunch and then sat with Vienna in the nursery for awhile so Chad and I could eat and get settled in. Gramps came over and they left to do a little grocery shopping for us. We're so blessed to have them so close by to help out. Vienna is already wondering when they'll be back.
Last night we had some much needed family alone time, it was nice not having a nurse come in every 15-30 minutes. We all slept much better. Vienna had us up only twice last night for feedings. She's doing really well so far. She doesn't do much more than eat, sleep and poop. There are only a few times during the day that her eyes are actually open. As soon as she eats, she's out cold. I am too for that matter. I didn't realize how much energy the feedings can take out of the mom as well.
Today has been a great day. Vienna is starting to get more comfortable with feedings and diaper changes. She had her very first bath. I'm still struggling with moving around, getting up and down, so Chad had to be the one to sit near the tub and bathe her. She didn't cry near as much as we thought she would.
We're taking our new life together day by day, and look forward to the new experiences and challenges. Speaking of, tomorrow Stella comes home. We've missed her so much and can't wait to spend some time with her. We can't wait for her to meet her little sister.
