Almost 24 hours hold and already she has changed. Her little cone head had rounded and her eyes are less puffy. I think she looks an awful lot like her Daddy, though she has her mother's stick straight hair and plenty of it. I think perhaps she also has her mother's photogenic nature because she was more than willing to lay there, all wide eyed, while Tom took a few pics.
All day at work I could hardly wait until I could get up there and hold her again, but alas, that will have to wait a while longer. She is having some issues with latching on, and until she does the nursing specialist is suggesting that no one but Mommy and Daddy hold her. Bummer. There will be plenty of time for holding and rocking and reading and singing in the days to come.
After the excitement of her birth I found that I could not sleep last night. At 2:30am I was wide awake watching Dancing with the Stars. Tonight, at 7:50pm I am ready for pajamas and a soft bed. Being a Grandma is exhausting. :-)
