I understand you're frustrated, but it's only a few days in the scheme of things. Put your feet up, read a trashy book, cook some casseroles and throw them in the freezer, and buy green and yellow and white sleepers. They sleep most of the time any when they're newborn, so get a few. Also, you'll probably need LOTS of change pads, I found, as my son found fresh air, well, refreshing and peed on the change pads a lot. Also, TONS of those little washcloths. They sure come in handy. Wash those up, and what blankets you have.
Also, if you're nursing, you can ask around about breast pumps. Let me tell ya, they were a lifesaver for me. I know they tell you not to introduce a bottle if you're nursing, but I found just the opposite. The sooner they get used to both the better - your hubby can take a shift at night then. My nephew wasn't introduced the bottle till he was about 8 weeks old, as well as the suckie and he refuses either, so my poor SIL is stuck with a babe on her boob all the time. Just a few thoughts you can go over.
Also, Avent has a great handheld pump, if you're careful not to oversqueeze (ouch)it's great. The machine pumps are rentable and now even affordable to buy (if you consider the cost of what formula would cost you). I found them great because you could control the speed and suction.
I'm rambling. .... just thinking of stuff to keep you occupied!!!
Also, some nice walks would probably do you good. Get some fresh air.
Hugs, honey!
Hang in there!
XOXO
