Grandpa Larry came up this last weekend to meet his new granddaughter.
Annika's first week at home consisted of eating, sleeping, and pooping. It's amazing how these three most basic bodily needs can become so all-consuming, concerning, and entertaining. Neither Julie nor I had ever changed a diaper prior to this, so we've just had the ultimate crash course. I'm surprised we haven't put one on backwards or on her head yet in the middle of the night. I do have to say though (knock on wood) that the sleep has not been quite as bad as I thought it would be. Having my mom around to pull early morning shifts and prepare coffee for us first thing has been very helpful. Not to mention all the wonderful food that she's had ready for us- thanks Mom! 
She dropped a little weight in the days after delivery, and has been slow to put the pounds back on. She seems to have a slight binge and purge issue, as evidenced by the milk-covered rags and onesies. Hopefully it's just a phase!
