I figured it would be good to write an update on how things are going. We had our new baby girl a little earlier than planned and everyone is doing well. We’ve settled into newborn life at home and I’m happy to report it’s been what I expected. The biggest impediment is disturbed sleep, but so far our newborn has been much calmer than our first. Currently I expect to wake up every 2-3 hours during the night to change and feed the baby, being able to have that much routine already is a big win. Two hours of sleep is better than zero, we’re still early on though and I know after about of month of this I’ll be delirious. What I told myself last time was the first month was the hardest, the first three months are hard and after nine month it becomes fun. The pets have adjusted well to the new baby and big sister has been wonder. The elder princess has taken care of her sister since the moment they met, when we visited the hospital she put a pacifier in the baby’s mouth. In the mornings she runs to the bedroom to say hi to moma and baby. She even gives goodbye kisses to both when we leave for daycare. The owner of daycare has convinced me to write a book about my princess, The Girl with the Silver Boots. I’ll be working that while I’m taking time off of the podcast, and the podcast has been going on without me thanks to the help of my brother. The weather is cooling off as we enter a new stage of life, now it’s time to feed the baby.
