September 9

Today was my first day home alone with Rebekah. Before now, I had visions of being alone with a crying baby and unable to figure out how to calm her. This was certainly not the case! Rebekah ate and slept the day away. She took in 9 3/4 ounces...mostly breast milk, but some formula since I was not able to pump enough milk to satisfy her needs. Joe came home for lunch, which was a true blessing. Otherwise, I may have remained hungry for a couple hours since I was busy feeding Rebekah over lunch. It's really neat having Joe around to feed me while I feed her.

This afternoon a friend from my summer Bible study brought a couple meals over for us. Up until today I felt I had no appetite, but her food sure brought that back! And I really enjoy eating Italian food and not having heartburn as my after-dinner companion!
