Things are coming along

On Tuesday we went in to have the dressings changed on Danica's wound.  It took 3.5 hours, which is much longer than it will normally take. They are coming to the apt tomorrow to change it, as long as they can get through the Snowmageden that has occurred.

We are trying to acclimated to being home with Addison again and it just feels like we won't feel completely at home until that wound vac is off (4-8 weeks).  While things are starting to get routine again the sooner it is off the better. Addison is constantly becoming more alert and gaining more personality, which makes the 3 am feeding a little better, but still not all that great.


Now for something a little different.  Here are the top 5 things I have learned from fatherhood thus far:

1. The most terrifying few seconds you will have at this point is when you look at your sleeping baby for a few seconds and think, "is she alive or dead?"
2. ESPN is always running something I am willing to watch, whether it be mid morning, afternoon, midnight, or 3 am. Easy to turn there and fight sleep to feed Addison.
3. Never turn down free food, either for the baby or for parents.
4. Enjoy all the little things that the baby does at this point so you don't lose it when they are crying uncontrollably.
5. Patience is king.

We would also like to thank Danica's aunt Kelly for taking some great pictures of Addison. They look fantastic and the consensus number one is below.
