But she has her moments...
We're home alone now - our family of 3. Jenna and I are still adjusting to the fact that our life now involves a very dependent baby. We're starting to develop a routine, and have done okay so far. I should hopefully be able to work a half day a couple days this week to help ease the transition for Jenna. Also awesome is that some people from church are bringing us meals this week to help us out, so one less thing to juggle.
We took Laina out on the town to the Sushi Den on Wednesday night with Jenna's parents. The Sushi Den is supposedly the best sushi in Denver - they actually fly the fish in fresh every day from the Tokyo fish markets. Since we hadn't eaten sushi since we'd been here, we were eager to check it out. It didn't disappoint. We had some chef's specials and some incredible tuna and unagi - tasted fresher than anything I'd had back when we lived by the ocean! We had heard that it was super trendy and loud, but were surprised that it wasn't that bad. It seemed like they sat us in the "kids section", because every table around us had kids and babies... Which was good, because it eased the fear of being "those people with the crying baby". Luckily she didn't make a peep the whole time.
Afterwards, since Laina was doing awesome (i.e. sleeping), we decided to go for a double header and head to the 27th floor of the Hyatt downtown for drinks and desert. My firm designed the Hyatt in Denver, which just opened a year or two ago, and one of my first projects was to work on a redesign of the lobby outside of the lounge on the 27th floor (although I don't know what ever happened with that). Its not a very well known spot, but it has amazing views of the Rockies and the city. So we like to take visitors there around sunset... Unfortunately Laina thought it was a little too much for one night, and it was pretty rough going. With all the changes and feedings and spit-ups, we ended up taking about 2 hours to have one drink and some desert... Oh well, now we know the extent of her patience...
My parents are here next week, so Laina gets to meet her other Grandparents (although she already met my dad when he came out for a few hours).

Jayenna!! Congrats on the wee baby. Haven't spoken to you in a bit but I just wanted to say how pumped I am for both of you. Well done.

you guys are awesome. We took Ainsley to a party a week ago and I was on the verge of tears the whole time (and she was great). You were brave to venture out for two events. Although, a drink may have put me mor at ease at my event too...
