One more thing...
Our computer is busted, so sharing pictures is on hold. Also, please forgive any typos. I'm using my nook to update & it's like writing a story on a cell phone.
I don't mean to brag...
Devin is an angel. He's an absolute angel. Once my milk came in, Devin continued to sleep through the night, only waking up once or twice for refills. :) He only cries when he's hungry or when he hasn't been properly burped. I've taken him out a few times, to doctors appointments or grocery shopping, and he's slept through it all. We even visited Brian at work so he could show off his boy. During a typical day, Devin and I hang out ninny & napping.
As for Melanie, she loves her brother very much. She loves to wave hello to him, give him his pacifier and hug him. We ask what his name is and Melanie says, "Baby brother."
Melanie is blossoming into a very smart big girl. She sings the ABC song completely, sings Twinkle Twinkle Little Star and Jesus Loves Me as well. We bought her a kid-sized basketball and that hasn't left her side. She's jumping (and falling) and dancing (and falling, but she dusts herself off). She is a bit temperamental nowadays and I think it may be because I'm so occupied with feeding Devin. We're doung the best we can to transistion Melanie to sharing our attention. We'll get there!

Devin's First MD Appointment
Devin, Mom and I went to see Dr. Hiben on 04/13/12. Devin wasn't thrilled with the examination, until gave him his pacifier. Then he was completely content and we all enjoyed the visit. Afterwards, Devin was all tuckered out and enjoyed a nap!

Sleeping & Sucking... That's What Newborns Do!
Devin's sleep schedule has been pretty darn phenomenal these past two days. I gave him a bottle of formula around 9ish, put him down to sleep. Devin wakes up around 12ish and then again around 4ish. But I'm not about to start bragging yet - we ARE using formula right now, until my supply comes in.
As for that, we're working on it. I think it's stressing me out, which makes it take even longer. Don't you love how that works? But we bought that delicious-tasting Mother's Milk tea yesterday afternoon and I'm about to go make my 5th cup of tea. And Devin is completely willing to do his part to help the milk come in too. :) And when I need a break from all the suckage, he's strengthening his jaws on a pacifier. (I think Devin's used the pacifier more these past 3 days than Melanie ever did!)
