But it's a routine. Eat, play, sleep. Every 4 hours or so. My job is early morning, which was my favorite time with Anna, and again with Sarah. Get up around 4:00am, give a bottle, take the dog and baby around the block, then lie on the couch with the baby on my chest and half-watch some dumb TV. There is especially dumb TV at 4:30am. With Anna it was Sliders. This morning, I learned that The Sci-Fi Channel runs two consecutive Twilight Zone episodes at 5:00am. Score!

She was 7 pounds, 11 ounces and very healthy.

She has dark blue eyes, very long toes, and loves her mom. She even managed to get some sleep on her first morning.

Mom is doing very well, and is being attended by her parents, her husband, and two very excited little girls.

It's just a matter of time.

We have a minivan now. The bag for the hospital is packed and sitting in the car. Bobonne is here, and that is a huge help. Grandpa Chuck is coming soon, after his visit with relatives in the Pacific Northwest.

The girls are practically jumping out of their skin. They keep coming up with baby names to add to the list, which is already pretty long.

Feel free to suggest names in the comments...
