Thoughts during the 4:00 AM feeding

Thanks to everyone for the well wishes. I promise, once we get our schedule in order, more pictures will be up very soon.

Colin is sleeping quite fitfully at night time, costing Heidi and I (as well as Grandma McB, who's helping out this week) some much needed sleep. Seems his internal clock is a bit backward, because he sleeps extremely well during the daytime. Theories abound as to why this is, from lack of noise at night to overall chilliness to the fact that we are asking Colin to sleep in a bed - the horror!!! - instead of in someone's arms.

Anyway, I stumbled across this little nugget from Crain's about obstetricians banning cameras during labor and delivery. It confirms what we expected when CDH told us we could not take pictures/video of the actual birth, even though we were told it was to protect the privacy of the mother. Instead, it turns out that hospitals want no pictoral evidence in the event of a malpractice suit.

I understand it from the OB's point of view, but why lie about it? Because it would scare the dickens out of future parents? Hmmmmm, I see.
