>>>>>>>>> 21
>>>>>>>>> and a quarter inches long.  I stayed in hospital with him until
>>>>>>>>> yesterday
>>>>>>>>> because I tore a little bit and they wanted to make sure I was
>>>>>>>>> physically
>>>>>>>>> ready to go home.  The hospital staff were great, they even took
>>>>> remus
>>>>>>>>> both nights so we could get some uninterupted sleep.  We had a
>>>>> few
>>>>>>>>> feeding
>>>>>>>>> problems in the hospital and we're still struggling with breast
>>>>> feeding
>>>>>>>>> a
>>>>>>>>> bit, and have had to suplement feed my milk, but all in all
>>>>> things are
>>>>>>>>> going well.   Colyn is liking being a big brother, and we're all
>>>>>>>>> settling
>>>>>>>>> in and getting used to the new routine or lack there of.  I'll
