The Mystery of the Mewing Sock Bin
Another late night last night with Celerity. I ended up going to bed in my lounge around the house clothes, in anticipation of having to get up and feed/comfort her again. This morning I was getting ready to take a shower, pulled off my socks, and threw them into my sock bin.

On the Night Shift
The exhaustion is starting to set in. Being on the night shift is a drag. Even with our feeding plans working, we're still not getting the sleep we need.

Big Big Crib, Itty Bitty Kid
I love my camera. This picture was taken with very low light and a long exposure.
As big as Celerity is, at 10lbs, she is not nearly big enough to fill up this huge crib we got. Ahh, she's so peaceful when she's sleeping.

Daughter in the Nursery, Wife in Recovery - April 18th, 7AM to 7:30 AM
Once the kid was out, weighed, and cleaned off, the nurses moved her up to the Nursery while they finished closing up Dodi's abdomen and moved her to Recovery. I decided to follow my daughter up to the second floor Nursery. They put her in ( Read more... )
