The first night was actually pretty smooth. While it took us all a few hours to get into a routine with the feeding, burping, changing, and sleeping cycle, Bella and I got a solid four hours sleep after midnight on the sleigh bed in the room. Just to give you an idea of the setup here at St. Joseph's, the majority of the rooms were at one time semi-private rooms which have since been converted into single occupant suites. Half of the room is the original hospital style room, while the space formerly reserved for a second patient now holds a twin sleigh bed against the wall, a table with four chairs, a small credenza under the window complete with table lamp, a large TV, microwave, and small refrigerator. I can sleep comfortably and be just a few steps away from either Laura or Bella should they need assistance during the night.
Laura has already started experimenting with Bella's wardrobe in preparation for visitors. In this picture she is sporting a hand-woven cap made by my Aunt Jackie up in Dallas. Laura brought along a whole bag of clothes for Bella, but we will save those for when we go home. We were visited by my friend Laurent, and Laura's high school friend Jennifer.
