Daddy's Pillow Baby

Tom here. I have a confession to make. I've been getting much better quality and deeper sleep than Megan has. However, about once a night when my alarm goes off or Megan calls my name from the other room to help her out, I pop out of bed half awake and run to the nursery with my pillow in my arms as if it was a baby! I can't explain why I do it other than when I get woken up from the deep sleep I am convinced that I should be holding Emily and am afraid I've fallen asleep with her in my arms.
Pretty weird, huh? I guess it happens out of a concern for Emily's well-being but it's a pretty bizarre manifestation.
So, I started writing this post a few days ago and since then I had another "episode". A couple of days ago at 3am Megan woke to see me sitting on the edge of our bed holding my "pillow baby" in my lap.
The conversation went as follows:
Megan: Tom, what are you doing?
Tom: Just making sure Emily is asleep.
Megan: Where is she?
Tom: No response.
Megan: (very concerned) Tom, where is she!!?
Tom: (waking up a bit) I think she's in her crib.
It turns out she was in the nursery sound asleep and I pretty much was too.

We have a few more milestones/updates to pass along.

• The Comers are visiting this weekend and brought some Minnesota snow with them :)
• Emily visited her first restaurant (Riley's Diner) and slept through the entire experience.
• We think Emily weighs approximately 8.5lbs.
• She is sleeping for longer stretches at night, (about 4 hours).
• Today is the first day since Emily was born that Megan actually brushed and blow-dried her hair and went without the ponytail!
