Last night I let husband sleep a couple of hours and fed her at 2:30 and 5:00 a.m. She was really nice because after every feeding she went straight back to sleep. This morning she slept really long. We had to wake her up to get her ready for her visit.
Today we went to the agency to meet with some people. Lilly behaved like a little angel. She slept nearly the whole time, woke up to take her bottle, went back to sleep after a little while. She also made that funny snoring noise when she is hungry and everybody was laughing about it. When this little girl is hungry she gets so excited, she makes these cute snoring kind of noises. And she can scream. Loud!
The nurses in the hospital had told us to burp her in between a feeding. Sometimes it is not possible, she gets really mad if you take her bottle away. We can already see that she has a strong personality.
Tonight we had a little diaper explosion. Lilly was so thirsty all day and drank every 1,5 to 2 hours. She even had 4 ounces of milk in an hour... Later I heard a noise that sounded like a little explosion. And it was. It took us numerous wet wipes, two people, and one towel to clean up that mess. 15 minutes later Lilly reloaded. Same story. But she started peeing while we were cleaning her this time. We are slowly running out of clothing...
I love Lillian so much. It has been just a couple of days, but it feels like she just belongs to our family. We love to take care of her and really enjoy getting to know her... And I love to see my husband in his new role as a father. He is doing amazing...

Sounds like you guys are really settling in!! I guess diaper explosions are all part of the initiation into mommyhood, huh? I can't wait to see Ben in daddy role too...
I love seeing the happiness literally ooze out of your posts! Glad she's a good little eater...and pooper ;)
Your pousts make me smile so much. I know how long you have waited for these days and I am really happy they have finally arrived.
Glad things went well for you at the agency...that sounds like a fair amount of pressure. I'm glad the diaper explosion waited until after you got home!
I'm enjoying reading your new mommy experiences so much! I'm so happy for you and every experience makes me so excited for experiencing those things myself. My husband would call your diaper explosion a "Crap-tastrophy!"
This is all just so wonderful to read. I think I have caught baby fever. I love all of these adoptions going on around the 'net.
isn't it amazing that kids have the ability to reload that quickly. I am glad for you that you are adjusting to your daughter. Keep the poopy diaper stories coming cause I am so glad that you have the opportunity to blog about the poopy diapers you even have in your house.
Look back even a week ago and we never got poopy diaper updates from you.
I'm trying to decide if "explosion" is a euphamism or not. ;)
I love reading these posts because the happiness and peace and love literally come off the page. I am so happy for you and for your beautiful Lilly:)
