Well — first post since baby was born. We’ve had a chance to catch our breath now. Lisa came home from hospital a day early and we’ve pretty much settled into life as a family of four. Baby is definitely a night-owl, which I have to admit has caused me a bit of grief because I’m the total opposite. I don’t need much sleep, but I’m not a late night person at all, so the first few nights were tough. Things have been getting better every night though, and she’s settling down much more quickly after each feed now that she’s familiar with the sounds and smells of home.

The Kid has adapted really well to having another sibling; a few little blues here and there, but given that she’s no longer got 100% of our attention she’s actually done pretty well.

I originally intended to keep working through the first few days of Lisa coming home (albeit at slightly odd hours) but it just didn’t work out that way. There was too much to be done, and the time for work just wasn’t there. I got some stuff done yesterday though, and I’m sure today will be an even more productive day. For the first day in over a week it’s 5:30 in the morning and I’m awake and ready to go.
