Day Two - What a GREAT BABY!

Can you believe we made it to the end of day #2?!?!  I'm currently sitting in a cool, dark hospital room with my two girls sound asleep (both snoring - really cute!). It's such a great feeling to look at both of them and know that they are both all mine.  I thought I'd take this time to write about Day 2 - however, since I've had almost no sleep, you'll have to give me a pass on any spelling or grammar errors.  :-)

We had a GREAT Day 2.  Cricket did a great job feeding today and got a lot of sleep in.  She really didn't even fuss that much today.  She's going to be a wonderful baby.  She officially turned one day old today - see the photo below with the clock. She had her hearing test today and passed with flying colors and even met with a pediatrician who said that she looks great. 

Mom is doing great and doing a GREAT job with the feedings.  You can tell that she really paid attention during the breastfeeding class and did her homework during the pregnancy.  Her and Cricket are really on the same page when it comes to feeding time.  However, I must say that I think we found something that Daddy might get some credit for.  Everytime Cricket gets fussy during the feeding, I'll put my pointer finger in her hand and she grabs hold of it tight.  After a few seconds, she latches on and the fussing stops.  Like I've said before, I think she's going to be a Daddy's girl!  See the picture below where you can see her holding on to my finger.

I hope that we get some sleep tonight and that Day 3 goes as well as today went.    Thank you to everyone who has sent us words of encouragement.  We wish we had time to respond to all of you but Cricket is keeping us extra busy.  Please continue to leave us comments and email us, as its a great change of pace during the day to see what all of you think.  Below are pictures from throughout the day.
