2 weeks old

Hi there. Taking care of a brand new human being takes up a lot of time (somehow), especially if you're the person providing the food, and even more so when dad needs to sleep almost as much as baby. So that's been our story for the last couple of weeks. My family has all gone home, and we think and hope that they got enough quality time with Hadley while they were here. We certainly had some great times together, and it was definitely a Christmas that we'll never forget. Meghan's parents will be here for the next few weeks to help us get through this initial time where my energy levels are low, Hadley's needs are high, and the learning curve is fairly steep. We're thankful for that. We're also thankful to all of you who have sent your well wishes and thoughts and for all of the cute little baby things we've received. We've posted some photos of Hadley and her family online here so as not to overwhelm the blog with parental pride. Peruse at your leisure. Here are a couple of highlights for those of you who don't need to look at 50 photos and videos of someone else's baby:

 

 

  So we're now in a waiting period in terms of my treatment. We're waiting for an MRI at the end of the month and the results that we'll get from our oncologist on February 1. We'll see what happens there. More on that maybe in the next post. We hope you are all having a great 2010 so far. We're really enjoying Hadley, and are taking her on her first road trip today as we escape the city for Whistler for a couple of days. Thanks again for all of the love sent our way.
