10 diapers down, 7190 to go. Day 1 recap.
Thanks again to everyone that sent over kind words and support. It was greatly appreciated.
Today was filled with more visits from some friends and family and a chance to start adjusting to life with a little one.
After being up for 2 days, since the contractions started around midnight the night before, we tried to get a little bit of sleep, which, as everyone with kids knows, isn’t easy.

A typical baby uses 8-12 diapers per day (about 7200 for the first 2 years). We changed about 10 diapers today. I’m sure we have plenty of practice in our future.
