With snow still looming over our commute home, we got on the freeway in
rush hour traffic. Thankfully there was no snow and surprisingly not too much traffic either for 5pm. Mae did great in the car,
Ace loved having his sister in the back seat and mom sitting in the middle... and impressive feat considering we have a simple 4-door sedan.
Ace wanted to be able to touch sister, but he's not quite long enough. Mae was cozy and content in her
heirloom blanket and hat made by my grandmother. The same one
Ace was wrapped in when he came home, the same that I and my brother were wrapped in when we came home, and the same that my mom and uncle were wrapped in when they came home. It was nice to carry on that tradition.
We arrived home and headed inside.
Ace spotted some goodies that Vanessa had left for us after feeding our kitties the day before (thanks, girlie!) some beautiful flowers and the newspaper from the day of her birth. We then proceeded to introduce Mae to our kitties. They seemed interested that there was again another little person in the room - but by no means did they bold when she squealed. The first time
Ace cried when we brought him home sent the cats bolting in escape... they've since been accustomed to loud noises from smaller people. :)
We then enjoyed dinner and allowed
Ace to play some for a bit before starting the bedtime routine. Little lady got to enjoy her swing for the first time (not on, just a cozy seat) while both mom and dad participated in the bed time routine. Helping to ensure that
Ace still felt like a priority. He went to sleep well and aside from a few in-sleep fusses slept through the night without issue.
Loving Husband headed to bed and stayed up with Mae who was still awake a little. A little after 8 she fell asleep after nursing and we headed up to bed around 9. We slept from 9-11:30 before she woke again and was wide awake - a little mixed up I'd say - she'd dose off, but then wake back up wanting more milk... which hadn't quite come in yet. We finally got back into some solid sleep around 5:30. Loving Husband took
Ace who had woken at 7:40 and took him downstairs. We woke at 9am to a good
ol' fashion blowout. Through the diaper the cozy (thick)
pjs and onto her waterproof pad. Impressive, little girl!
Overall a good first night. Mae didn't really fuss or cry. She wasn't a fan of diaper changes in the night - but mostly because of cold hands and wipes - and she calms right down if you talk to her. Mae's first night at home and the snow fell. 5" of snow that finally fell... which was beautiful, but by the time we woke it was windy and raining and melting away all of that snow. So while Mae's first official snow has occurred, she never saw it, so I'd say it didn't really count. Heck mom didn't even get a picture of it - so it
really doesn't count. ;-)
