Baby stuff day 3..
Thanks for the baby posts, I will reply to those! First night was a bit hectic, first full day was mostly ok, and I can see how routines might work now. We all slept a bit!
Right now she also sleeps quite a lot in the day and feeds most of the night. Feels a bit weird that all I can do is carry her around and burp her etc. That'll distract her for 30 mins before she's all "BOOBS NOW!" Which I can't really help with..
So, I RTFM'd and apparently it's my job to make a lot of tea, carry things around, fend off too many visitors (lol) and use super geek powers to set up impromptu intercoms. (didn't say that in the book, but I should be able to set up a really good 2 way audio/video chat system using Kat's old ibook..)
The cats have been shut out of the attic completely.. We'd anticipated that, but it was confirmed a good idea after Mushroom had got into the baby basket before I'd even finished setting it up.. Which was less than a 2 minute window. Nice. Had to change the sheet after it had been on for 30 seconds.. Mushroom leaves footprints. Odd that; she only leaves them in the places you want most clean.. Kitchen cabinets, baby stuff etc.
There will be lots and lots more photos but not a constant stream (as in, hrs, minutes.. It'll be day-shifted), seems like living with her and enjoying it is more important than documenting everything. :) More pressing that we don't rush or miss anything than making sure nobody else misses stuff. Saying that I have kept my camera in my pocket the whole time since birth, and anticipate at least one batch of photos uploaded a week. I don't want to spam my main LJ so I'll work on separating her off into her own LJ or something (which both me and ![[info]](http://p-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif)
batkat could post to.
Oh, and I registered elizabethdawes.com - partly for "her" blog but otherwise just to camp until/in case she needs it later. .. Didn't say anything about that in the book either. I wonder if there are any tech-friendly parenting books.. There's an excellent net-savvy parenting blog & podcast in jumping monkeys at least. Going to have to look into that, I'm sure there are loads of useful sites.
