More of Cooper and Miley

Things have been going well with Cooper at home. A lot of adjusting, but well. We had a small set back in the nursing category which created for a VERY rough day. Since he is two weeks early he is pretty lazy and when my milk came in at full force it intimidated him and he decided he didn't want to latch anymore, then without latching well for a few feedings he forgot how to do it. He went 8 hours without having a really good feeding and then I struggled for almost 3 hours to get him to eat again and ended up having him suck on my finger and use a dropper dripping the milk down my finger.

Along with my stress of him not eating Miley has a pretty bad cold so she wasn't feeling well and needed cuddle time, which I just couldn't give to her with trying to work with Cooper for so long. So, I was quite the emotional wreck yesterday. We brought Miley over to Grandma's house as we then headed to Red Wing to work with Anne, the best lactation consultant ever! After her seeing how much we were struggling she decided that the best thing for him and I would be to use a nipple shield which forces him to latch correctly and will be a teaching device for him until he can figure it out on his own and remember what to do. This little piece of soft plastic has been a Godsent! He latched immediately and he ate and ate and ate last night! Mommy felt so much better!! I have plenty of Golden Milk and the last thing I wanted to do was to let it go to waste so he is now working with me and is a much happier boy now that he knows what a full tummy is like.

Other than that set back everything else is going well. Here are some things we've been up to the past couple days.

Going Home Outfit

First time in the car seat

We got home at noon on Friday and Miley got dropped off after nap time, she wanted to bring Cooper to their room and watch a movie with him and she told me right where she wanted Cooper to sit on her bed.

Our first meal with the four of us.

Little Brother

Ms. Dress Up Queen

One of the sweetest moments!

They both love their Daddy cuddle time

She wanted Cooper to sit with her in her chair.

And then she wanted to hold him on the couch and pet Joey.

More Cuddle time with Daddy

First bath at home, a double bath, got Miley all washed up and while she played we gave Cooper his bath.

We occasionally let Tigger come in the house and play with Miley, he's out in the garage and outside because he pees on the carpet, so here she is loving him up. He is pretty anxious to get back to his garage after playing with her!
