Oh, my goodness

Hi, All,

M&D are a little disappointed in you. Someone could have told us that being real parents was going to be hard. Very, very hard. We'll forgive you this time, but you're on thin ice.

Suffice to say, nobody slept last night, except for the Little One. It's going to take M&D a while to learn and get used to Bea's snorts, sighs, and other various utterances. M&D jumped out of bed every time a sound was heard, ready to change and feed our Little Princess. However, it turns out that she's just a very, very loud sleeper.

This is Parenting 101 stuff.

What's not so basic is the juggling of oxygen lines and monitor wires. The O2 supply rep came by yesterday to drop off two oxygen tanks (one large and one small) and a monitor. The equipment is easy to use, but will be difficult to juggle in the middle of the night. Wish us luck.

So... one more night in the hospital. Bea's doctor has been very accommodating and is allowing us to stay as long as we need. (Bea does have chronic lung disease, so it's not hard to justify extra time). He took one look at M&D this morning and suggested that we could use a little more time in ISCU. Bea, however, looked just fine, as usual.

We'll keep posting as interesting stuff happens.

All the best,

Team Beatrice (Ian)
