Bringing Home Baby

In the hospital just before we came home.

The 10 minute trip home from the hospital will really take it out of a girl.
And out of a daddy.
Can you tell that Nathan is completely enamored?
This is pretty much what she does. Her wakeful times consist of about 5 minutes after she eats if she makes it that long. Most of the time, she falls asleep while eating.

Laura! Thanks to Lisa's blog list, I found you. I was so anxious to see if your baby had arrived yet. Congratulations! I'm so excited to show Dave when he comes home from work. She is so beautiful, and you are both beautiful parents. We are thinking about you and hope that your recovery goes well.

She is perfect - just PERfect I cannot say it enough! I'm so glad to hear you guys are doing so well - I LOVE the picts of Nathan - he is twitterpated for SURE ;). Well the kid might be 'shrimpy' but she's got a pair of long legs on her!! Least it seems from the one picture ;) :). So glad she is hanging in there so tough and so glad she is healthy. Honey you are/will continue to be a wonderful mother - I can remember bringing Rhiannon home thinking - holy cow what on EARTH are we DOING!? We are definitely not qualified to take care of this precious little tiny thing! You are right though, you never stop worrying ;) but it's ok. You'll see love through your mother/father's eyes now like you could never seen before. I had a period of time where I was just so sorry for any heartache and all the bratty things I did to them. The love you have for a child is - undescribeable - and you think you love her now...it gets worse :) ;). Soak it up, it's the best - we love you ALL!!
