OH, Lisa, he's GORGEOUS! And you look great, too. Sorry about the in-laws. Tell them to shove it and don't you dare feel badly about it, not for one second. They'll get over it if they ever want to see Daniel at all. You're the mommy. That's all that matters for Daniel. 
Hugs.
Hugs.aaawww, Lisa he's a cutie!
I feel for you on the in-laws. I get along great w/ mine, but my MIL just stayed over for 2 nights and I was ssooooo ready for her to leave. She and I are not the same kind of moms. She kept saying it was ok to give up breastfeeding and that some moms let their babies run their lives. She kept wanting us to get out of the house and stuff. Nice idea, but come on, he's only 2 weeks old and he needs to breastfeed all the time. She made it sound like I'm being weird for not wanting to get out more.
ah well, just the beginning of parenting issues I'm sure. no one can change the fact that we are their mothers and that's that!!

me on the other hand, i 'm having to BEG my mother to come down (9 miles mind you) and when she does all she'll do is hold one- she even handed Rochelle back to me yesterday and said " here, this one's dirty" for a change!!! And my MIL is coming today- which will be the second tome since they've been home- even though she's down the street at the University every day- and I'll bet she's here under an hour!

My support system disappeared on me- even all our friends who said they'd be around to help seem to have melted away. from what I hear this is often the plight of preemies/NICU babies. by the time they came home at a month old, they were old news as it were-

That's so crazy!! Sorry to hear about mom mil not helping or staying long! My mom LOVES to change Rosie!! MIL hands her back to me as soon as she makes a fussy noise- but she's only seen Rosie 4x and only for a few minutes each time.

I'm sorry, honey. I'd come help if I were a wee bit closer. Hugs. I helped with the triplets of a friend for night feedings and suck 1-2x per week. It was exhausting, but so worth snuggling one or two little bundles.

Thanks guys- we're doing ok and holding our own-I just have to relax a bit about the housework etc! 
but hubby and I have worked out a schedule that affords him enough sleep and still go to work refreshed and allows me the rest I need to function and be lovey mommy not only to the tiny girls but all my teenagers, too

Glad you and hubby have a schedule that works for the two of you. Teamwork goes along way when it comes to raising one baby, let alone two!

awe sorry heidi 
I'd gladly trade inlaws with you... sucks to not have the kind of support you need...
MIL came today for a 20 min visit...showed up 15 min early and the visit went to a total of 45 mins... she sat there and held the baby while I did dishes... I really wish she would have done the dishes and let me enjoy some cuddle time
