A restless night

Last night the three of us "enjoyed" our first night at the hospital. Little Makenna had the best accommodations, she slept well and when she was hungry, she got fed. Allison and I on the other hand, weren't quite as lucky. Allison got to feast on broth, water and jello. I ate a lukewarm cafeteria burger and some weird tasting potatoes. I slept for about 5-6 hours on a cot the size of my body, no more, no less. Allison had a really tough night, only sleeping a couple hours at best with the emotions of the day catching up with her making it a really long night.

We really hope that tonight we (especially Allison) can get some good sleep and be ready for the day tomorrow.

Hang in there. That first week getting used to everything and each other is kind of brutal but it gets easier. Unfortunately you probably won't get a good night's sleep for a few more years but it's all worth it. We'll be praying for you guys!
