Tropical Storm Hanna turned out to not be a big deal for our particular locale, which was fine given the circumstances of the first day home with our first baby. We got about 1.4" of sorely needed rain, and some pretty intense wind, but didn't lose power or anything.
Ride home in the car was uneventful. Harper seems to like the car seat just fine, which is good as she can join us in our road trippin ways, hopefully:
We got home and at least I didn't feel that dread of "oh my god how are we going to take care of this baby now?!" Of course a lot of the pressure is off of me as the male, in that I don't need to provide nourishment for the baby. We just need to keep in mind that off-the-shelf nourishment is just fine thank you. It seems to be working pretty well for Harper as a supplement right now, that's for sure.
I put out a couple of balloons for the neighbors that wanted to be notified when the baby got home. It was immensely satisfying to announce her to our friends and neighbors. Here's the welcome home Harper (and welcome Hanna) photo:
The day pretty much consisted of feeding Harper, feeding ourselves, and sleeping.
We got another fair night's sleep, with some crying in the middle of the night. It's still hard to know when she's gotten enough food, and when she just needs a quick break to burp or be changed. We're getting it figured out.
Obviously she's fairly happy with what we've gotten done so far. Here she was napping in the morning light this morning:
