Day 2 pics and stories

Sorry to keep all waiting, we have been busy learning the "How to" guide on caring for a new born writen by Nana MacKenzie. It has been so wonderful the little tips here and there that have come up and we are just trying to learn as much as possible before Shirley leaves.

Other than that things have been good, we have been trying to figure out the night thing still but we are starting, and I totally mean STARTING, to understand what Renee wants. Too bad that road to fully understanding is so long but we will get there eventually.

So Renee is sucking on her hand furiously at times to soothe herself just like she was in the one ultrasound picture that she had many moons ago, and so is also enjoying her sleep during the day and enjoying her time awake at night, so right now she is a little backwards but we'll figure that out soon enough. She also has a tiny bit of Jaundice but nothing a little milk and light won't fix.

Stephanie is doing fantastic. Feeling much better on day 2 and her waddle has subsided quite a bit compared to the first day as the mid section pains are starting to dwindle. We are both trying to rest as much as possible and we are truly loving every second that we have to share with Renee. Family and friends have stopped by and it has been fantastic to start a new family with so many wonderful people.

Enjoy the pics from day 2

I second the Lo-meisters comments. She is SO beautiful. I especially like the picture where she's giving the bears on her mobile a serious look - you've got to wonder what she thinks of those guys, eh?
I cannot wait to see you all in August and spoil that sweet little girl rotten. I was going to bring her a pony, but it wouldn't fit in my carry on, and i'm not sure your backyard is ready for a pony....yet!

Talk to you soon - lots of love to all 3 of you!
