Aunt Jilly comes to town

Mag-pie received a visit from my sister, Jill, this weekend.  The metropolitan aunt came with more free swag for the baby from her office.  Maggie now has five different SyFy Channel items, two USA network outfits, and a ton of socks with the USA network logo on them.  As soon as she got here, we handed Maggie off for a while.



It was a pretty nice day, with lots of time to chillax (that's a combination of chill & relax) while Aunt Jilly did most everything other than the obvious.

We had bath #2 Saturday night, but the photos were all on Jilly's camera.  We did get a great photo of the hairdo that Jill gave Maggie.  She was playing around, but Mag-pie's hair dried, so this is the "do" she sported for the rest of the evening:


Saturday night went really great.  We think we've decoded the Maggie/baby sleep pattern at night.  We'll have to be sure by continuing this week with the same methodology.  We got about 6 hours, and then we handed Maggie off to Jill for an hour and a half in the morning so we could get another wink or two. 

Fully rested, we attacked the day.  One of the things that I dealt with was the first diaper genie unloading.  We never really read the directions that actually say that the thing will fill up before the refill bag runs out.  So, I went upstairs, and when I came down, it looked like I had been deep sea fishing. I think it was about 20-30 pounds and about 30 inches long (no lie...seriously):

The hairdo ala Maggie is courtesy of me not combing my hair after showering.

Grandmommy & Grandpa came over after they went to church, and they brought lunch for us.  Gotta love Panera!  Then after a quick visit, a diaper change or two, and watching the video of the morning of Maggie's arrival - the stuff that Annie didn't see like Maggie & I rolling down to the nursery with the nurse while Annie was still in Labor & Delivery - my parents left with my sister so she could catch her plane back to NYC.


So then, it was back down to Daddy, Mommy, & Maggie (and Sunny of course) to finish out the weekend. 



I have one week left for me until I go back to work.  I hope we can get into the swing of the night shift in time! :)
