Here we go..

Hendrik's first full day and we managed to get a full dinner on the table - the docs told Margot to get carbs and iron, so beers and bloody meat it was for momma - finally! We got a nice three hr stretch of sleep in until Evelyn woke us up at 6am - and then it was a morning of spit-up and throw-up all over the carpet (just like Pootie used to do), except it was Evie! Only the 2nd time she's been sick her whole life and she chooses the 1st morning home with her baby brother - already screaming for attention!
She was back to bouncing off the walls by lunch-time though, so looks like it was just a quick stomach bug. Not sure where she could have gotten it - it's not like anybody in the house had been sequestered in a windowless crowded urban-zoo hospital for a few days..
Otherwise the day went nice and smoothly - couldn't ask for better big sister early acclimation, and Hendrik's willingness to eat is making life much easier for Margot than the first time around. Also helpful: not having a newborn infant when it's single-digits out and snows three times in the first week at home - why aren't all babies born in the Spring/Fall again? We're shooting for May next time..

There's already talk of "next time"?! Stop making us look bad Nate. That steak looks perfectly cooked by the way.
