We are home now and are slowly getting used to the transition from being D.I.N.K.s to being
those annoying people who carry pictures of their child everywhere they go, even when the kid is with them, believing wholeheartedly that they are the first couple in the world to ever give birth.
Sally looks great and has taken charge as if she has been doing this for years. Lillian is sleeping for about two hours at a time and feeding in between filling her diapers with the most fowl substance (next to Lutefisk) on the Earth. We are excited for all of you to meet her.
The whole hospital experience was a positive one. Sally woke up Mon night/Tues morn at 1am with contractions, and we timed them until 3:45am when we loaded up and dashed to the Hospital. On arrival we were greeted by an condescending, evil troll of a nurse who downplayed Sally's pain and until about 6am when the epidural was ordered. That nurse was replaced by a crew of nurses that immediately made up for the bad apple by being very calming and positive. Our Doc, who had not been selected to stay on for Jury Duty, arrived at 8:15 am and told Sal to start pushing. So, after 1 hour and 46 minutes of pushing, Lillian made a grand entrance and life has not been the same since.
Thanks for the calls, emails, visits, flowers and positive thoughts, they all helped all three of us through what was the best birthday I have ever witnessed.
