Goodbye Room 1114!
Ally & Elynor getting acquainted (so far, so good...)
Our sleepy burritoYay! After a stop at Dairy Queen (yummmm... 5 days of hospital food created some cravings) we arrived home yesterday around 4pm. Elynor slept contentedly in her car seat the entire trip - even through the terrible Lake Shore Drive pot holes and some squeaky breaks. Thanks to the tremendous support of our in-home housekeeper/nurse/au pair, Grandma Cochrane, we are slowly getting into a groove of this new thing called parenting.
Many thanks to all who have called and emailed over the past several days. Your encouraging words and well wishes mean so much - especially in the moments when we feel clueless about what we're doing. It would be difficult to get back to everyone in a timely manner, so please don't be offended if a personal reply does not come until October. :) Over the next few days we hope to savor the down time getting to know Elynor, introduce her to Ally, and establish a routine/get some rest. We're thinking we'll be up for some visitors starting late in the week - so be in touch then!

Congrats! and Wow! She is beautiful, such great hair and big cheeks already. You'd think she was 2 months old. You can say good bye newborn clothes and hello to 3-6 month sizes! I hope momma is recovering and that breastfeeding is going well. Stick with it! Have you heard about the lower lip flip?
She's just BEAUTIFUL! Love those killer cheeks! :) And you guys look so calm in the pictures... I just remember how clueless we felt about everything at this point in Brooks' life and I'm sure I can see my own panic in the first few photos.
But it does get easier, I promise! I'm glad you've had some helpful extra family hands this week. Remember to take care of yourself - ie, SLEEP as much as you can!! :)
love and hugs from the UK
