Smart Hospitals

Besides being filled with Doctors, Hospitals are smart. They keep your baby every night they sleep through the night and then, just when it's time for them to start staying up all night, they release the mother and child to go home. They must have secret formula that tells them which night your baby is going stay awake. Lo and behold, they did it to us. Tiny Baby slept through the 2 days and nights her and #1 Mom were in the Hospital. Then, the day we get home, she is awake MUCH more of the time than she is asleep, and has been for the last two days. Of course, we knew this was coming and we were ready for it. #1 Mom and I take turns watching Tiny Baby while the other tries to cat-nap. Of course, I've been on the better end of that stick. I've gotten much more sleep than she has, (because I can sleep on a bed of rocks if I'm tired enough) but I'm still trying to help out.

All in all, this has been a great experience. We absolutely adore our little girl as does the rest of the family. We are very blessed to have her and enjoy every minute with her.

For a quick update, #1 Mom and Tiny Baby are doing great. They were allowed to leave the hospital a day earlier than first told (Of course, that's because when they did the formula, they figured out Tiny Baby was going to be awake Thursday night and not Friday as they originally thought) Both are doing great. #1 Mom is healing up very nicely and getting around better than expected after being cut open only days ago.

A big THANK YOU to all of you that have emailed and called voicing your well wishes and congratulations. I means the world to all 3 of us. :)
