Taking Baby Home

First days are always hard. Yesterday was a first day for me. My mother came home from the hospital and the routine is now different. Her feedings are scheduled for every few hours and her care is a bit more than it was previously. It reminds me of when I took my babies home from the hospital. They ate every few hours. I worried if they were eating too much or too little. In those days you also supplemented with water so that added another variable into the mix. Would they sleep all night? Would I know what they needed? That is exactly how I felt yesterday. That insecure feeling about taking care of another human being.
