So much for frequent updates . . .

Well, it has been a really long while this time - so much for frequenting updating. Sometimes so much water flows under the bridge that there is a feeling of responsibility to try to document all of it before you can get to current events - not that it is much of an excuse, but it is all I've got.

In any event, I am now twelve days into being a dad. Antoinette Jean was born on Mother's Day. So far, so good. We went to the pediatrician today and Twinnie weighed in at 8 lbs., 7.5 ounces. That's nearly a pound up from where she was last Friday and over a half-pound above her birth weight. Twinnie isn't exactly sleeping through the night, but she's doing well. She'll eat every hour or so later in the evening up until eleven or midnight - but then she'll sleep for four or five hours. That gives the both of us a pretty good break.

Gramma is in town this week and next and has been a great help. Among other things, her presence has allowed me to go back to work with the peace of mind that Kara and Twinnie are being looked after during these first few weeks.
