Settling In at Home!

Lots of stuff happening today. Grammy Genie is flying in to hang out with us. She will be here in a few hours!

Still waiting for the big push, the overwhelming nights, the never-ending demands...but so far there aren't many. We have had a few meltdowns where we couldn't figure out what the baby wanted but how difficult is it really? She is either...(a) hungry (b) has a dirty diaper (c) needs to burp or (d) see A-C.

Things may change (diaper certainly do) but so far the transition seems to be going pretty smoothly. The dog is adjusting well too. The first time the baby cried the dog jumped up from her kennel and ran to the bassinet, she stood there trying to peek in and wagging her tail, then she went to the door of the room and rang the bells that mean she needs to go out...the look on her face was..."Mom, please let me out, I will go find HELP!"

Now she has realized that this little squeaky person is here to stay. In fact, last night from 1 am to 5:30 am all three of us slept in my little twin bed...and yes the baby slept all that time...

In the hospital the nurses complimented me on being the calmest first time mom they had seen in a long time...I guess I just am not that worried about things - YET? I really am wondering about what I am overlooking...things seem to be running smootly so far. You all can remind me that I said that later...but so far so good.

Here's pic of the Princess having a nap yesterday while I rearranged the layout of our room (hence the improvised sleeping area instead of her bassinet).
