Day 46 - Jan 15

Just received one part of the hospital bill - for room and board. This is why everyone needs insurance in the USA!

Nearly fainted when I saw the cost. How can anything get so expensive. It's cheaper to stay at the burj al arab than at Penn Hospital.

Over the last day or so, we have been having problems feeding the little baby. He feeds for only about 2-3 minutes and does that every hour, then starts kicking about and crying until he falls asleep on the boppy. Not sure what's going on. The next available appointment with the lactation consultant is only next Tuesday - that's 6 long days away!! I hope he doesn't starve by then. Google doesn't really help, because it's not a forceful letdown issue.

Throughout the day, Shane has been so cranky. It could be the lack of food. He still has got wet and poopy (but not a lot) diapers. So I'm assuming that it's still not a huge issue.

I feel like i'm spending my entire day tricking him into sleeping or eating.

The only time when Shane is happy was after his bath
