Just wanted to take a minute and let everyone know of the new addition to our family--Georgia was born last Wednesday and it's been a busy week with little sleep, but we're really enjoying her. Quinn has been fantastic-she loves to "help" and has a little stool next to the bassinet so she can look in on her sister.
We were in the hospital for 2 days and Quinn stayed with Baba and Grandma Danny--she had a really good time, and they all got to come to the hospital and visit. Quinn was pretty hyped up but she had been prepped fairly well, so she was bouncy but relatively well behaved in the hospital...the curtains on the rollerball track were nearly more exciting than the new baby sister. :)
Just like Quinn, Georgie had a case of jaundice, but fortunately for us, she is a much better eater than her big sister was. There has been no worry of keeping this baby awake long enough to eat--she is a hungry girl! She does let us sleep for a few hours at a time, so it's not too bad--Geoff's working half days this week and next, and that's made a huge difference. The hospital sent us home with a bili light and we had to keep this thing on her for 20 hours a day-I was just starting to get a bad case of cabin fever when they finally told us we could take it off. We should just be grateful that we were able to bring her home instead of being under the light at the hospital, but I was seriously going bonkers being at home for an entire week. It's probably a good thing, it forced me to take it easy for a little while.
We are now gearing up for another marathon of visitors--Geoff's parents are coming into town for Georgia's baby blessing this weekend, and his mom will stay until Oct. 4 (yay!) Our good friend Annie lives in Pittsburgh, but she has an art history conference in St. Paul, so she'll stay with us for a few days as well. After they leave, my sister Amy and her 2 kids are coming to visit for 2 weeks! We are excited, and we are also glad the basement project is done so we have a place to put all these people. :)
We'll post again soon with pictures from the baby blessing and all the family fun.

She's beautiful! Congratulations! I'm glad you could have her at home with the bili light instead of leaving her at the hospital. Have fun with all your visitors, and make sure you take advantage of their help so you can rest! (I know you're a partying fool, so you get those naps in there.)
I love you guys!
