She's Home!!!

Baby Alyssa came home with us last night. We got home around 9:30 and worked on figuring out how to get everyone to bed. We fed and changed her and got her in the bassinet. An hour later, we woke up to crying. Big surprise, I know. We spent the next few hours figuring out that Alyssa doesn't like the bassinet and just wants to be held while she sleeps. Another big surprise, I know. About 3:00 I finally got her to sleep by putting her on my chest as I slept, and we got a good 4 hours of sleep like that. I woke up and changed her (she was still sleeping), got some work done on the computer (she was still sleeping), and went on with my day. She didn't wake up until 8:15! I didn't even need a nap today. Alyssa is a great baby. She's only cried once in the 24 hours we've had her. She's very easy-going and loves to look around when she's awake. She especially likes bright colors. We're quickly learning how to be parents and ironing out the wrinkles in our system.

We'll work on getting some more pictures posted in the next few days, so stay tuned.
