Good morning!

Dad said I have some catching up to do with my story, so I thought I would write a little this morning before everyone got up and running with their day.

After the big move out of mom's belly, mom, dad, and I went back to the birthing room. Here is a picture of Mom and I snuggling together.

     About an hour later, Nurse Danielle said it was time for all of us to go, she wanted to put us down in the maternity unit on floor 5 in the Smythe building. She packed us all up, wheeled us to our new room,  set Mom up with some good pain killers, and off to bed we went! Mind you this was 3am, everyone (including me) was a bit tired, but Dad was able to take some photos of us snuggling again. 

We all got some good sleep the first night, Mom wasn't able to do much because of her surgery, Dad took care of me most of the night, with the excellent help from Nurse Jennifer. She taught dad all about feeding me, changing my diaper, and most important, swaddling me! I have a tendency to throw my arms up in the air, just like Rocky does in his boxing movie. Which in turn wakes me up 'cause my arms are all over the place. In the end, I think Mom and Dad got this swaddling thing figured out. They've been taught by the very best nurses here at Fletcher Allen. 

That's about it for now, I am feeling sleepy, a little nap before the big day with visitors showing up this afternoon! I think Grandma and Aunt Janet are coming a little later, maybe even Auntie Sarah and Mandy too! Until then......

Love-Marit
