Baby is doing well.  Mom and dad are considering the logistics of putting a Starbucks franchise in the kitchen.  Ainsley and Sadie had a singing competition yesterday from about 2:00 in the afternoon to about 3:00 in the morning.  Sadie won the award for consistency, with only 3 notes (whimper, whine, and echoing bark).  Ainsley won on range (toot toot through ear-piercing scream).

I've been told babies only eat, sleep, and go to the bathroom.  Ainsley has the first and third down pretty good, but did not sleep much yesterday, other than a half hour in the car, on the way home from the hospital.  She did finally get to sleep this morning, around 4:00.  I got the first three-hour stretch of sleep that I've had in three days.

What I learned yesterday: the importance of burping the baby after eating.  It's best to get it out while it's still in the upper stomach.  Beyond that point, it makes her very uncomfortable.  More pictures later.  Maybe a movie of Sadie inspecting Ainsley....
