And it keeps getting better...

Wow...  all of you who are parents know that absolute, unconditional love of having a new baby...  add that to the sheer amount of love I already had for Lucia, and I am in heaven!!!  The last  days have been wonderfully exhausting...  I am re-learning how to do things one-handed while holding Liam (like posting a blog entry!) and am reveling in watching Lucia's absolute adoration and protectiveness of her little brother.   Combine that, with the coos and gurgles, and with seeing Dennis loving both his babies, it is an absolutely amazing, beautiful thing!  I am extremely content and happy, to say the least.  I can't remember life before 10:21AM on Tuesday!

I have a lot of thoughts to share about being banded and experiencing this pregnancy, as compared to last time... more to come on that though because the extra morphine in the epidural has officially worn off, and although the love hormones are strong, they aren't kicking the pain away!  So, a few more pictures to share for now, and more in the future to come...  We are hopefully heading home tomorrow and I can't wait to be an official "foursome".

As I sign off, here are a few of the pictures from the hospital photographer... damn them - they do great work, and how could I NOT buy the set of pictures with my two babies in them???  (sigh - a good sigh, but sigh...) So, enjoy...
