"Mother and baby are doing fine."

I forgot to post that the first day. Talking to a coworker I didn't realize I hadn't posted it. It is sort of required to say that after the birth. Unless there are problem, of course.

Work has been very busy this week in addition to a couple of busy little girls at home. The end result is that I haven't been able to post as many pictures as I wanted to. So I will post a slew of pictures this weekend.

Now and Then, part 2

With our first child the trip to the hospital was scheduled. My wife was a week over due and had an appointment to be induced set for noon. She woke up early that morning with mild contractions that occurred every 7-15 minutes until they stopped around 10 AM. So we hung out that morning and played video games. Then we picked up our bags and went to the hospital. We had time to pose for a picture before leaving.

Then

On Monday my wife went to her OB visit in the morning with no change from the week before. This was surprising because she had experienced 6 days of mild contractions (I posted about those last week). Then at 2:30 PM she wakes up from a nap with strong contractions and they got worse there. She called me at work at 3 and I rushed home. We had time to hesitate for a picture before we ran out the door.

I am fascunated with these two little girls. I am going to start a continuing series on the simularities and differences between them.

Home again, home again, jiggety-jog

We all arrive home safely. Our oldest was a bit too excited to see her tiny baby sister come home we had to take her for a walk to calm down. She missed her mommy.

I get to go sleep after I put together the basinet. When I get up tomorrow morning we'll see if I go to work. Don't worry my wife has her mom here to help. I will take some time off work in a couple weeks.

Give the baby loves!

Welcome home, baby.
Good night, Baby.

Coming Home Today

We are coming home from the Hospital today. I have to run back and pick them up.

Tiny Baby is so tired she has slept most of her first 24 hours of life (5:18 is coming up shortly, we are on California time here). It will be fun to get to know her after she starts being awake more. The good news is that her mother and I got 4 hours of sleep at the hospital last night.
