Home at last!

Sorry this blogging is so hit and miss. SO MUCH happens so fast and I'm just trying to get it all in here before I forget and as I remember.
Isla was PERFECT on the way home. She slept so soundly I kept having to check to make sure she was breathing. For me however the car ride home was excruciating. After sitting in a ridiculously HARD wheel chair while Justin pulled the car around and all the bumps on the way home, my stitches were REALLY smarting. I couldn't even sit down! Mom and dad stayed to help us out a little. Isla just wanted to sleep and be held. She hadn't eaten in about 6 hours, even though I kept trying to feed her. I tried several times while Justin was eating and showering and stuff and she just wasn't interested at all. Justin sat down to watch TV and unwind and I handed Isla to him and took a shower and laid down on the couch. It was hard not to watch Justin hold her. Watching him with her makes me love him so much more than I ever thought I could. But I forced myself to close my eyes and I slept for about 3 hours! And after some Motrin and Darvocet I'm feeling much better. It's still pretty difficult to get up and down though. I'm looking forward to this pain going away.
Isla finally nursed, for the longest she ever has! I got her pjs on and swaddled her and laid her in the crib with a pacifier. She just laid there looking around while I got settled in for the night. She seems to enjoy the rhythmic ticking of the clocks above her crib (Bonus!). She was just wide awake so I decided to computer it up for a while with her next to me so she wasn't alone in her crib. Now she's sleeping soundly and I am going to try to put her back down and catch a few more zzz's before she wakes up wanting to nurse.
So far I'm loving having her home. Sitting in bed with her snuggled up next to me is just the best thing EVER.
