Dad - Last night was a difficult night with very little sleep and Evangeline demanding quality time with mom and dad. The big thing I learned was how much little Evangeline likes "belly time." Our Dr. said to give her 10-15 minutes on her belly each day so she can build up head and neck muscles. On her first go, Evangeline demonstrated great ability at lifting her head. Small steps, but very cool.
Mom - I'm happy to say my lab skills are transfering to mothering skills. I do so much in the lab one-handed and now it comes in handy with Evangeline. Babies are hungrier than you think.
Grandma - I've enjoyed being around a newborn. Great memories have come up and I don't know about pearls of wisdom, but I've been able to share stories.
