She's here!


Lauren Molly Young was born on Monday September 27, 2010 at 3:55 p.m. weighing in at 6lbs 14ozs.


I have no desire to re-live my labour experience at this time so perhaps I'll save that for another post. I also warn you that what you are about to read will not be a literary masterpiece as I am too tired to put a whole lot of thought into my sentence structure or grammar.


We were able to leave the hospital on Thursday and have now spent four nights at home. I am counting the time in nights because they seem to be the hardest to get through. Everything seems harder at night. Crying is louder, hiccups seem more severe, feeding is more difficult and solutions to problems are harder to recognize and administer. The same things could happen in the day and they seem so much easier to deal with.


Norm and I have been working very well as a team. He is the Baby Whisperer when it comes to burping and getting her to sleep,while, I, being the one with the boobs have got feeding covered. I'm also better at dressing her. Many times now she has been presented to be with both legs in the same leg hole of her pants. In his defence, her legs are small and the holes are big...


So far we really have no idea what we're doing but somehow we're all getting better at it every day.
