A new day.

This is a quick post just to say that the last 24 hours have been filled with so many highs and lows that Andrew and I have decided to go into the NICU this a.m. with a slightly different attitude. We realize the value of conserving our energy. The amount of information coming at us is astounding, and last night we went into overload. Our end of the day with Ellis was fraught with parenting terrors as well as the realization that even though we are beginning to take on more parenting skills, we are still in a hospital setting and therefore will occasionally hit a wall.
Being a new parent is obviously tough. Being a new parent in the NICU is confusing. But today is a new day. And we're going to doctors rounds. Over and out.
