Home is where the...
...sleep no longer happens. Well we are home. I apologize for not updating the blog. I still have not plugged in my computer so I haven't checked email either. We are somewhat settled in. Last night Sydney actually went to sleep after her feedings. I felt pretty good today. Now she is squirming and we can't seem to make her happy. She is eating like crazy so I guess maybe she is having a growth spurt.
Coming home was the best. We were really excited (and tired) and though I haven't unpacked and put away everything, I have had some success getting some order to the endless bottles and diapers. The day after we came home we got a swing. She likes it ok. It goes kinda fast. If you drape a blanket off of it it will slow it down and I think it is bearable. We are going to invest in a better monitor so we can put her in her room. The cradle thing insn't working for us since we stir at her every move and non-movement.
The day we got home was interesting. It was rainy and cold. Believe it or not, it was actually colder here than it ever was in Utah. Thank the humidity. I promise to put up some pictures of our arrival and some of her enjoying the comforts of home. I am sure she will look as though she has changed to those who don't see her everyday. We went to the doctor this morning for a 2 week check up and she has definately grown. She weighs 8 pounds, 8 ounces (from 7, 11) and is 20 1/4 inches long (from 19; 3/4). Well I am going to get some sleep while I can. I will get some pictures up tomorrow.

We're glad you are home and adjusting to everything somewhat. It will become more of a routine for you soon. I'm glad to hear Sydney is doing so well and eating. She has definitely grown. That just shows you that her food is agreeing with her and she is happy. :-) Thanks for keeping everyone updated on her status. Take care and keep us posted. Love you. Aunt Tracy
You guys are doing a wonderful job. Sydney is such a precious little bundle! We love you and can totally relate to the "farewell, sleep--hello, parenthood" sentiment. But what a joyous reason to be tired. :) One day we will look back on these busy days with such sweet fondness. Love ya, the brownlees.
