Grandpa + Lee

Lucy has some great grandparents.

Steve and Lee are in from Chicago, helping us make the transition from hospital to home. Things are good: Lucy is eating about every three hours and sleeping in between most of the time. It's a good life, eating so much that you fall asleep and are then awoken for a new meal a few hours later.

Last night was our first "long night" and it wasn't too bad. Lucy woke up at 4:15 a.m., ready to eat, and stayed up until 7:00 a.m. We knew it was going to be fun when the sun started coming up. I think it'll take about two weeks to make the adjustment, but we've got so much help that we're going to do just fine.

Diaper Update: In the hospital, the nurses told us that the Newborn size wouldn't fit her, so Lucy has already moved up to Size 1, for babies 8 to 12 pounds. If anybody's in the market for seven-hundred Newborn size diapers, we can hook you up.

Psst, Lucy. Parents don't actually need sleep. That just and old wives tale. You have to be tough these first few weeks to get them on your schedule.

I'll take the diapers. I'm sure I can make an awesome "baby robocop" cosplay outfit for Comic Con next year.
