Home!

Sorry for not getting anythingup yesterday. As we're finding out (and all you parents with more than one already know), two kids is a lot more work than one. When one is napping the other is going crazy and vice versa. Yesterday was our first full day on our own. All things considered it could have been worse. We found that Alli loves being in the swing and sleeps much better that way. She has had more time awake yesterday and today and you can already tell she's trying to figure out just what the heck happened and where am I.

Ethan has been GREAT with his new sister. He has been very gentle with her and today said her name for the first time. He always wants to see what we're doing with her when its time for a diaper change or time to nurse.

Alli has a weight check appointment tomorrow with Dr. Roscoe to be sure that she is gaining weight and a follow-up appointment with the cardiologist to check her heart again in 1.5 weeks. Overall though she is doing great and since her sleep-wake cycles are improving and she's much less fussy than in the hospital I think her weight has to be going up.

Nights have been a challenge as with any new baby. I've been taking the bulk of the night duty to let Megan sleep and she has tried to do the bulk of the day duty to let me work. Sunday night I got about 3-4 hours of sleep and last night it was something like 4-5 so I'm feeling a little better today. Hopefully, I can squeeze a nap in sometime today. I did get a present yesterday when I got Ethan and Alli together for the first time laying with me.
