Day Two

Yesterday was Leah's second day in the world. Things continue to go well, and of course we have some more pictures for you.

Yesterday was fairly eventful.  Our neighbor (who happens to work here at the hospital) was nice enough to stop by the first night with our baby nail clippers (didn’t think we’d need them this early, but we do!).  I had a go with them yesterday, but opted only to clip the longest ones due to Leah’s exuberance.  I had to make a food run yesterday afternoon and took the opportunity to go home and pick up the boppy (C-shaped pillow, for those of you who are like I was before I had this baby) and an extra blanket (Leah spit up on one of the ones we had brought).  We had another round of visitors stop by; as with the first day, most become rather uninterested in the parents once they see the baby!  I jest, of course, but the fact remains that Leah is quite popular so far.

All three of us logged some more sleep last night, although Karrie and I are still coming up a bit short.  Karrie was especially exhausted by the end of yesterday evening, so I made sure to handle as many baby duties through the night as I am capable of.  After all, Karrie has a job to do (heal and nurse), whereas my only obligation is to put my hand up when anyone asks who the dad is.  I hope it paid off; Karrie got some decent shut eye last night and this morning.  As for me, I think I got enough to make it through the day.  If not, that’s what naps are for!
