How lucky are we?

I really hate to jinx thing good thing but as everyone makes wise-cracks about lack of sleep with new baby, Erin and I just smile and nod because we're not experiencing that at all. We're almost a month in to this parent thing and already going against the grain. Ava is a quiet baby who enjoys pooping, drooling and sleeping! Of course she has her moments where she screams like we're holding her over hot coals but those moments are few and brief. In general, I think we got what one can term "a good baby".
Now, that strikes fear into my heart for a couple of reasons: Does this mean she'll be a terrible todler? Does it mean I'm in for it when she's a teenager? Does this mean when/if we have a second child, it'll never sleep, always cry and drive us over the edge faster than Entertainment Tonight Canada? Unanswerable questions but they plague the parental mind.

Erin is doing wonderfully after having a c-section. She basically took the couple of days in the hospital to recover and got right to it when we got home. The first couple of days she was a little slower than usual but she's up to speed now....out shopping or visiting friends. She says she never realized how many things you can get done while holding a baby in your arms. It makes me feel like a total tool when I'm holding Ava and can't even pick up the tv remote! I'm really proud of her.

The grandparents are over the moon about their first grandchild. Erin's parents have seen her a couple of times and it's really funny to see their reactions to the baby. G Papa (Jamie) is happy to be in the same room as the kid as long as he doesn't have to hold/change/burp her. While Grandma (Pauline) can't get enough time holding/changing/burping her. I guess they compliment each other perfectly! My mom hasn't seen Ava yet but is coming to visit at the end of the month. I can't wait until she meets her. I just know she wont be able to keep her hands off of her first granchild...and who could blame her? Ava's a doll!
