So, the princess and I are settling into a routine quite nicely. This morning, she even let Steffan & me eat breakfast together before he had to go to work. She's waking up on her own to eat now, which is great!! There's something really unnerving about setting your alarm for 2:30 in the morning, and then, as you blearily stumble back to bed at 3:15, setting it again for 5:30. So, now, we're alarm free, well, not really alarm free, just instead of a mechanical beeping, it's more of a grunting and groaning that escalates to wailing if not answered in time!
We're still going for walks every day. Yesterday, we went to the grocery store on our walk, and she slept through the whole thing! I've decided it's time to roll all the coins in our spare change jar. This should be a fairly simple thing to do. I have the change, all I need is the rollers. Well, yesterday, we went to the dollar store, the pharmacy, the post office, and the grocery store, and nobody had them. So, that means I get to postpone that job for a little while longer.
Tomorrow, my girlfriend is bringing over her 6 month old son. That should be a fun day. I haven't seen her in a couple of months. Her son is going to make our little princess look sooo tiny!
Monday, I went to the registry to order Caitlyn's birth certificate. I walked up to the counter and said, "Hi, I need to order a birth certificate." The helpful lady said, "Is it for yourself?". to which I replied, "No, it's for my daughter...holy cow, I have a daughter!!". In some ways it still doesn't seem real. It's like we're babysitting and waiting for someone to come pick her up. I wonder when it'll really sink in that this is our life now.

Monday evening, I drove a friend home, and came back to find this:
Somehow, the sleep deprivation is all worth it!
