Norah seems to be of the opinion that cute little babies should sleep through the day and party from the hours of 3:00-7:30 am. She was as quiet as the proverbial mouse when we brought her home on Thursday afternoon and didn't say much until early Friday morning. And boy, did she have something to say.
I'm not quite sure what she was upset about, but she was not a happy camper. She seemed to want to use Nisha as a human pacifier. When the chapped and bleeding Nisha declined the request and Norah threw the biggest fit of her cute little life. We were finally able to calm her down a bit past 7:00 am and she slept peacefully for a couple hours. Nisha was able to grab an hour of sleep and I clocked in and was able to work a half day in the office downstairs. Gotta save those personal days for baby emergencies to come.
Apart from the big meltdown, Norah seems to be doing great. The hospital sent a nurse to check up on her today. (they do this for everybody; they didn't mean to imply that we were unfit to be parents... so they tell us) The nurse said she's doing A-OK and that she was a cutie (duh!). She's the same weight as she measured when she was discharged on Thursday, which is good because she and Mom are just getting this nursing thing down.
We got the first snow of winter 08-09 today. It was a whopping 1.0-1.5" and it brought Cincy-area interstate travel to a crawl. Sheesh. I found it an opportune time to play with Nisha's new digital SLR camera
Nisha's Bro, Sis-in-law and our two awesome nieces are in town for the next week and a half from Tuba City, AZ. We all gathered Friday night for a baby meet-and-greet and to catch up on all the swingin' times on the Navajo reservation.
Is this a fake smile, Sammie?
Finally, as promised, cute Norah pictures:
Norah loves her blankey, Granny Marian!

Nice to see new pics. Seems that Casey is accepting of your new addition. Hugs to Sammie and Charlie and all the Sipes crew!
I commented early this morning, but must have done something wrong cause it hasn't shown up...
Norah is absolutely beautiful. I hope for her and Josiah to be great friends.
I know exactly what Nisha is going through with chapping and bleeding. Hang in there girl... it does get better and it WILL stop hurting. She will also stop feeding as long and as frequently.
I'm beginning to learn Josiah's language. You have so much to look forward to as you get to know your little girl.
John and I will try and stop by this week so you can show off your angel...
