It is just beginning

Laura has done a great job keeping up our blog. It is now my turn to keep the update. She has her arms full at the moment.

We were able to bring Lizzy home from the hospital yesterday after Mom flew in from Romania. Let me just paint the picture of where we are at right now. It is now 6:45 AM and we are feeding once again. We have laughed through the night at our new schedule and life. We arrived home yesterday to feed at 9:00 PM and then chatted for a little while with Mom. We slept for an hour before waking up at 12:00 AM for the next feeding. I changed the diaper and then fed our little girl while Laura pumped. At 1:00 AM were were done and slept for another 2 hours just to wake up at 3:00 AM where once again, I changed the diaper, fed and burped while Laura pumped. Then we went to bed at 4:00 AM and woke up at 6:00 AM. Now I get to go to work and Laura gets to continue this schedule.

Believe me when I tell you that we are really enjoying this... for now. The novelty of the new changes and the beauty of our little girl keep us going.

Tonight will be a whole new experience. You see... Will comes home from the hospital today. Laura and I have no idea what is coming our way. We have wondered if this is going to add an hour to our schedule or just a couple more minutes. If you don't see a post for tomorrow... just pray for us!

Laura and I are excited and having fun with our new role as parents. Sure there is no more sleeping in on Saturday morning or any such thing as a straight 4 or even 3 hours of sleep. We are happy and are thankful for all the support that is given. We are excited for Will to come home and hopefully we can still get 2 hours of sleep!

It is now 7:00 AM and time to get ready to go to work and for Laura to gear up for her day. I forgot to mention, with everything going on last night, I forgot to pick up her pain medication. Having had both types of deliveries she is still in a bit of pain. I think the only reason she is still talking to me is because I need to feed and change those diapers!

Here we go!
