Adjusting at home

It was good to be back home. I had finished most of the renovations I had planned, so the house was looking better than it ever had.

That afternoon we finally decided on the name for the baby: Nina Akemi. Funny, because those were the first names we were settling on months before. In the hospital we were tossing around all kinds of different names. Some were on our "short list", and some we (I) just made up on the spot. I won't list any of the considered names here in case someone thinks that they are better than Nina Akemi. Truth be known, I still call her "baby" most of the time.

Although we had more room, privacy, and baby stuff at home than at the hospital, it took a while to get settled. Sunday night was pretty good I think because I had a good night's sleep again. Monday was a bit tougher, especially on Silvina. She was getting worried that Akemi wasn't crapping enough, and Akemi was exercising her freedom of expression at every chance.

I found that the front-chest holder worked well to soothe her - Akemi that is. I would parade up and down the hall singing whatever words that came to mind. That's the advantage of a newborn I guess - they can't discern quality.
