the first day of the rest of our lives…

we had some visitors today…we’re still both operating on 1 hour of sleep and lots of adrenaline. i’ll probably go home, take care of the cats (who i’m sure will be thrilled to see me), get some food and relax a little bit. then come back here for an hour or so to hang out and then go back home for a good nights sleep so i can be back here refreshed early in the morning to see my girls.

jennie is feeling better and is getting ready to eat dinner. at some point tonight i think the nurses are gonna allow her to move around a little bit which will be nice. i think madeline will stay in the nursery except for feedings so mommy can get some much-deserved and much-needed sleep.

spending lots of time with madeline today has been incredible. she sleeps a lot, which makes me jealous. but when she’s awake and alert she’s amazing to watch and interact with. and so far (knock wood) she’s been very well behaved. when she’s gotten upset, it hasn’t taken that much to calm her back down. she loves being swaddled and held, which works out great for all parties because we love to swaddle and hold her. we just can’t take our eyes off her.

i promise there are more photos and updates to come, probably not as frequently as the last two days, but i’m sure things will be pretty lively around here.

    ‘Amazing’ is the right word, Steve. isn’t it though? hard to believe gazillions have experienced it, huh?! please call if you need anything at all. PS - Can’t believe you guys have kept up the web chat throughout this saga - is there a webmaster award for that?!

    Madeline is beautiful. One little cry and she is back to sleep. If she acts that way all the time, even I could take care of her.
