So far, not bad. We're tired, but doing alright. Marcus is thriving. Zachary's jealous, but not every minute of the day. Mike and I are irritable around the edges from lack of sleep, but coping.
Too much has gone on in the past two weeks for me to write out a complete narative, especially right now when I need to catch up on my rest rather than sit at the computer. So I hope this summary will do for the moment:
- As one friend put it, it would figure that a short labor would happen from 3 to 7 am.
- It would also figure that it would be my obstetrican's night off. (I'm two for two now on being delivered by a doctor I'd never met before.)
- Zachary brought me flowers in the hospital - his idea! (He saw them in the gift shop on the way in.)
- Upon returning home, it took nearly a week to get Marcus to sleep in his crib rather than while being held.
- He still doesn't sleep well until about 4am.
Thanks for everyone's congratulations and well wishes :)
