Home from the hospital

I was released from the hospital today, so I am home now. The doctor said that if I wanted to I could have stayed until tommorrow and it would be covered by insurance, but honestly I just wanted to be home. I missed Ethan and Isabella, and was feeling out of sorts at the hospital. Now that I am home I still don't feel the same. I know we have another son, but it still feels like we only have 2 kids and that Gabriel dosen't really belong to us yet. I can't wait until he can come home and we can really feel like a complete family.

I have been pumping every 3 hours during the day, and was going to tonight as well but I slept through the alarm clock. Instead I will just pump once in the middle of the night to try to get more sleep. I just need to make sure that I keep up a good supply so that Gabriel gets some good milk to help him grow. That is one of my major worries right now, is that for some reason I might not have enough milk and they will need to give him formula. And I am not bashing formula, its just preemie babies do so much better on breastmilk, and I just want him to grow as well as he can.

Ok, off to get some more sleep. We will keep updating with pictures and posts as soon as we get some and hear news. We have a few more pics, but I was doing Kangaroo care (skin to skin) and don't feel like having my booby pics up for all to see. LOL, plus I am feeling a bit swollen and really unattractive right now, so no pics of me just yet.

Corina, you and John are two of the most devoted parents I have ever met. I know you are going through times. I am so proud of the way you handle lifes challenges, and I know that you will produce enough milk; and that your milk will make baby Gabriel strong!
I love you all.
