Angela Comes Home

I'm not sure the hospital thought all the way through their procedures and policies, but they let me (us) take a baby home. It was also strange to sign forms as the "legal guardian". Yikes!

So yes, we were discharged today. Before that, poor Angela had a rough morning. The evil phlebotomistist came in to do a blood draws (multiple), we took some cute professional baby pictures, plus all the nurse and doctor checks, etc. It's nice to be home without so many interruptions. Baby is very content, and a very good eater.

Angela strapped into the car seat ready to go home. And of course it was then when she decided to fill her diaper...

(Don't let the door hit you on the way out...)
Gee, what a surprise... Aunt Darby holding Angela.
I call this baby camouflage. Her sleeper and matching blanket.
Go on Daddy, keep talking, I am so (yawn) interested...
This is the cutest thing. She is "blowing kisses" sucking on the pacifier.

Megan's family visiting us at the hospital: (L-R) Grandma Kris, Grandpa Bob (holding Angela), Cameron, Darby, and Megan (the tired looking one in the hospital bed, just in case you were wondering.)

Are you just loving all the PINK!?! Brooke is still addicted to those green binkies-won't take any other kind. (Only gets them at bedtime now) She loves them, but a word of advice...they roll! And then disappear. We lost four in one movie theater visit.

Angela is beautiful!

What a beautiful little angel(a). The camouflage picture is great. That one will be popular for many years. Kris and I really loved "blowing kisses". Kris said "I didn't know they did that". It must be nice to settle into more familiar surroundings. Love you guys. See you again soon.
