Settling In

Here are some pictures of Mady snuggling up with her Grammies. We've had her home for two days now and we're starting to adjust to our new arrival. Sleeping has not been easy to come by despite being very tired all the time. Carrie had the brilliant idea that we should try sleeping in shifts for a while. Last night I slept from 6pm-10pm, then from 4am-8am. In between I got to stay up with Mady and watch Batman movies. I felt like it was excellent father-daughter bonding time. She sleeps really well if someone is holding her, but not so well if we lay her down in the bassinet. I guess this is normal as she transitions from life outside the womb.

A visiting nurse came by today to check up on Carrie and Mady. Mady is still in perfect health and is doing great. We feel very blessed to have such a healthy child. Carrie is still sore, but she is healing and will continue to do so for the next several weeks.

  1. I miss you all so much already. I am so glad Grandma and Grandpa M are able to stay and help. The pictures are great. I shared lots of pictures at work and everyone was calling me Grandma all day. It feels so great! Glad you are taking shifts, its a great idea. Love, Mom B
