Wednesday the 18th, a look back...

Katie's first full day of life was Feb 18, Wednesday. Of course, it is a blur, but a few funny things I remember is when we finally got settled in to a hospital room (having gone from the O.R. to a temporary recovery room to there.)

One is baby's first feeding. I was so proud of mommy. My instinct was to call for a nurse and get some teaching, but Jackie's was better. She was like, look, moms have been doing this for thousands of years, let's try it.

Sure enough, baby and mommy know what to do. God is so good at making things, especially humans.

At around 5am Jackie said something that didn't seem unusual at the time but the more i think about it, the more amused i get.
She was like, "Look, Tom, it is almost 5am. Why don't you drive home, and come back around 8?" At least one of us should get a good night's sleep."

:)

I guess a good night's sleep is relative.

The rest of the day was so sweet, just getting to know my girl. I remember feeling so blessed by God as I had a few minutes in the evening to watch both my girls sleeping.
