Sleeping Beauty

And one minute later, she let out a giant poot.

Hello and Goodbye

 

Cy Rawls and Tracy were the first to come visit Zoe the morning after she was born. Little does she know now that it would be a brief, one-time honor. R.I.P. Cy Rawls.

The Sling Miracle

So, today has been kind of nuts. She is eating like crazy, I'm eating like crazy, and she seems to be getting bigger...the bad news is that she wakes up every 3 hours like clockwork and it takes forever to feed her...and when she's done, she gets hungry again in half an hour. Isn't that only supposed to happen with Chinese food?

So, after much fretting in the vibrating chair, I put her in a sling and she has been happy and making tiny, cute, non-hunger-related sounds for the past 2 hours. Sweeeeeet relief. Is it wrong to go to the bathroom wearing your baby, cause I totally did.

Graduation Day

Not much to say today, other than the fact that Zoe has now graduated from preemie to newborn-sized clothing. Guess all this feeding and pumping and waking up every 2.5 hours is doing what it is supposed to do. No more tiny rubber chicken baby!

Because She's Cute

Zoe just happened to be alert during the day (rather than between 1:30 am and 4:30 am like she was last night, but I don't hold a grudge) so I thought I would take a little video.

Zoe Hastings: Live

So things are going well. We are managing to keep the small human well-fed and in one piece. We spend a lot of time gazing upon our creation, rating each face as cuter than the last. I guess that's how it goes. Not much else to say right now, we feed her, she sleeps, we rest and try to get stuff done around the house. She's been out in the world a couple of times to run errands, but otherwise, we've been enjoying being in the house with her. The dogs, however, aren't all that excited about her. And Seymour is just pissed.

Unlike her parents, Zoe arrives early...

Hi folks,

Just a quick note to say that Zoe is here. She is TINY, but healthy and an utterly delightful in every way. More to come...
