Whoa! Those things are huge!

Luke's cluster feeding has had his desired effect. Melissa is swollen with milk and actually in quite a lot of pain. We're putting together her pump to try to make her a bit more comfortable. Luke is happily feeding away on this massive milk supply.

We are finally home. It took the hospital a long time to get us discharged. Part of it was because Luke was running a slight fever, so they had to take some blood cultures. Turned out everything was okay, but it held us up a couple hours.

Melissa and I are much more comfortable at home now. Being able to take a fussy baby to another room is a huge impact on our sleep deprivation. I'm feeling pretty good right now, but I know Missy has had far less sleep than I. She seems to be doing better. Her new milk supply actually satisfied him for a couple hours during the night, so we managed to get a little more rest than normal. If he's even slightly awake, he's difficult to get away from her. He likes those breasts.

Luke is freakishly strong. He holds his neck up on his own, which is incredibly early. He's rolling onto his side at night. For some reason, he tries to do pushups while nursing, and then after pushing himself off he gets upset about it. With his huge hands, I'm predicting he'll be a good basketball player. Melissa's grandpa predicts president, but hey, basketball players make more money.

We've figured out that Luke definitely has a long stretch during the morning and afternoon where he's completely zonked. Although we have always had guests during this time, we can finally sleep now that we have a bedroom to run off to. We're glad we're home!
