Congratulations, Jill

Just a hint regarding your baby's arms getting in the way - if she is chest
to chest with you, one arm either side of the breast, then arms can't get in
the way. This is true for either the football hold or the cross-cradle
hold. Tuck her right into you, chin on breast, and there is no room for
hands/arms! If you can't get it though, try wrapping her arms out of the
way until you're more confident with the positions other than lying down.

It sounds like you're doing a wonderful job, though! Keep it up, and keep
us posted
