Contractions toughen you up for breastfeeding!

Enough said. Tali has superhuman suction coming out of that little mouth so it’s nipple cream all the way. I’m grateful it seems they are latching and feeding well. Two massive black blowout poops. I had no idea babies did that so early on.

Tali also has jaundice (as did I when I was born). So 12 hours under a little blue light. I hope they enjoy the suntan. I’m heading to bed. I was looking forward to being home and regaining the other half of me… there are waaay too many interruptions from a stream of attentive medical staff and administrators to have this be peaceful… but then again it’s nice to have access to a nursery where we left Tali there for a few hours tonight and got some sleep.
