The first 12 hours in the house

They Baby slept in our room last night. here's a little snapshot of what happened.
Baby was fed at about 9 pm. About 35 ML
Baby woke up at 12 Midnight. hungry and with wet poopie diaper. Poop is almost black color.
Baby gave some attempts at breastfeeding, and was getting better. After we put her to the bottle. She ate about 39 ML.

5 AM baby Woke up with my alarm
Wet diaper, no poop.
ate 45 ML. (~ 1 oz)

Then i went to work.

Why track?
It is important to track the BMs and PPs because you want to make sure the baby is growing, and also not dehydrated.

The breast feeding consultant (Sounds like a dream job eh? ) hahaha
Encouraged us to keep the baby on a regular schedule
Every 2 hrs in the day
And 3 hrs at night.

So i get about 6 hrs of sleep. in 3 hr bursts.

The baby can sleep thru the snoring.

My mother in law will watch the baby some and lisa may get some sleep.

I found walgreens to be pretty good for baby supplies.

Questions:
Any suggestions for scrapbooking?
We have all the stuff the hospital gave us, and i took an extra foot printing pad so i can do my own project.

If you are thinking of having a baby, i hope you are already in a serious loving monogamous relationship. Because the baby needs 2 people.

When we were leaving a 16 yr old girl was sharing the recovery room with us. I dont know she could go at this alone.

If you are thinking of having premarital sex, imagine having a baby with this person you dont even know, then seeing his/her face everytime you see the baby.

Note:

as the doctors were stitching up the baby, i hear Lisa tell the doctor,
"Yeah, i want to have 3 more kids"

JEEZ! She just went thru. 6 and a half hours of labor. Nine months of carrying this parasite (i mean parasite in the most loving way) around with her, and the next thing is Lets have 3 more? The Doctor said the rest will be easier.

Thats love. Way more love than I've got. And i love my wife and child.

So, now I am a Daddy.
I can say "Who's your Daddy" and get an answer.

I can terrorize future suitors to my daughter and not feel guilty. I know GPS tracking technology will up to snuff by the time the baby is ready to date.
