... sick day.

Seems like every day the past two weeks has been a series of firsts for our little family. Today, or more accurately sometime last night, marked the first day we really couldn't make Nora happy by either feeding her, changing her, rocking her, or some combination of the three. Perhaps our luck ran out a bit after nearly two weeks of having it easy, with nearly everyone saying "just you wait." So, okay, we knew better than to think...

Erratic sleeping patterns may be catching up with us just a bit...

We came home on Friday - a day later than expected and very, very happy. The first few days at home have been a steep learning curve.

We're using this space to share pictures, stories, and whatever else we want to be careful not to inundate anyone with in person. Please feel very free to comment and enjoy along with us as we figure out just how to be parents to this little bean. Today we're just getting around to posting photos from our time at wonderful Newport Community...
