How did Vero sneak a shirt like this one into the mix?
No word of a lie, this is the coke that came with my St-Hubert meal that we brought home last night!
Holy mackerel we were tired this morning!
We got home yesterday afternoon with some St-Hubert in hand and then it was go time. Time to set up the house to mimic the hospital surroundings. Set up the changing station with plenty of wipes (I might need to buy stocks in baby wipes), make sure the room temperature is a-ok, and overall set up the house to be functional.
For parents reading this, I’m just chatting about things they have already gone through. The one thing that I didn’t know was that if we want to feed the kid every three hours, you start the timer for the three hours as soon as the kid STARTS feeding. What the heck? How fair is that?! So when you are looking at this kid mow down for a couple of hours, you’re sitting there thinking “There goes my nap time!” Sierra has an interesting habit of eating for a good hour, but then five minutes later wants some more. So we weren’t sure how to curb that appetite (we laughed at the description of Barracuda in one of those baby books) but we think we figured something out.
But this morning was interesting where you start out knowing that you will be waking up around 3am, then you don’t know when you are going to get back to bed, then you realize that you don’t have much time to nap afterwards before the next feeding around 6am. 6am was rough, but sitting here at 11am I am actually feeling decent. My Fitbit is an interesting tool right now as it tracks my sleep so I can see how I was super non functional around the 2 hour sleep mark, but now that I have six hours in me, I can tell that my energy is good and I can probably make it through the day with a catnap in the afternoon.
I’m sitting here chatting about myself, but I have to say that Vero is doing quite well and I’m pretty sure she has access to some adrenaline because she has way more energy than me!
We are trying our best to respond to emails and chat on FaceTime with people once in awhile. If we haven’t got to you yet, don’t worry, we’ll get around to it.
Gotta run, some baby is making noises. I did figure out how to connect the Bluetooth keyboard so these posts are quite a bit longer now.

Remind yourself that your time partying all night while at school was training for this day.
Why didn’t I know this beforehand! You have been holding out on this valuable knowledge.
yup Ryan, even the baby will puke like you did in College!
