HOMECOMING

After staying almost a full week in the beautiful Verdugo Hills Hospital we were finally cleared to go home a day early. Finally we get to do something early. Everything else has been late or long. Now Mommy and Baby are home and we can finally, really relax. I know that sounds funny with a new born to say we can relax but that's how it feels. The hospital was great and everyone (except for one crazy nurse who looked a little like Estelle Costanza) was super nice, but there was too much going on up there. Whenever we would put Lucy down to sleep and try to sneak a little nap in ourselves, someone would come into our room with a blood pressure test or paperwork or tell us about photographs or take our breakfast order for the next two days. They were all great services and it probably would have been fine if we were there for 2 days. All in all no complaints about the hospital or the staff (again except for the nurse who said we had a fussy baby on 2 different occasions, of course she's fussy she's 12 hours old and has been poked and prodded he entire life) it's just really nice to be home.
Here are some of our hospital pics and homecoming photos as well.

  5. Wow! She is so cute, and I love the toes picture, also the 2 of her looking over (Rachael's??) shoulder. She looks very at peace and intelligent in the top one, and it made me giggle to scroll from that to the crazy face she is making in the next one!!!
    Enjoy your first days at home and Yay for having family there to help out.
    Love you guys!

  8. Oh dear heavens. Bless Rachel's heart (just got caught up). Glad that all is well.

    Somebody told me Meredith was spoiled at about 6 weeks. So Mer and Lucy can hang out with their spoiled and fussy selves. They'll get along.

    Congrats. I will pray for your brains to resist the weaknesses brought on by sleep deprivation. Seriously. XO.
