Home Alone!

Today was Jon's first day back at work. Surprisingly it went really well. I was a little nervous about being here with all three kids, but it wasn't nearly as bad as I thought it would be. The boys were really good, and didn't mess with Charley. The boys got me up a little before 7, which is when Charley needed to eat. They watched cartoons while I nursed and then they had a little breakfast. The boys went down for a nap at 11:15 and then I fed Charley and she took a nap as well. I was able to get a few things done while they all took a nap. The boys woke up around 2 and we spent the afternoon playing, reading, and watching a little TV. It's refreshing to know that handling 3 children is easier than I expected.

Things are still going really well with Charley. She has been spending a little more time awake during the day. She is doing great over night as well. She sleeps in 3-4 hour blocks, which I'm very thankful for. I'm still attempting to nurse, and trying to get my milk supply up. I am borrowing a pump from a friend and hoping that will help me get there. It's kind of a pain right now because I am having to nurse or pump almost every hour, but I know getting my milk supply up will be worth it. Hopefully within the next few days I will notice a difference in my supply.

Not much is new...I posted a couple of pictures. The boys love talking to Charley...they think she can understand : ). They are pretty sweet with her.
