Congrats Lou! It was so great the way you didn't give up although the report didn't look good with your eggs. Now, you have the payoff! Also, as far as BFing goes, it can take up to 4-5 days for your milk to come in (that is what the nurses and lactation consultant told me when I had my son). Mine took about 2 1/2 days. Boothe would scream because there wasn't any milk. The nurses had me take a syringe and give him up to (I think) 20 cc's of formula after I would take him off the breast. That way, he had something in his tummy to quiet him down, but he didn't get used to a bottle. They assured me that the little bit of colostrum he received gave him enough energy and other things he needed at that time. Hopefully, this reassures you. Although, I know when they are upset and screaming in the middle of the night, it is hard.

This one was taken with my phone. I am going home tomorrow. Praying my white blood cell count is going down and my hemoglobin going up. It was only 7.8 yesterday. At least I no longer have a fever.
