4 Days Old

Hello again! Ok, so we survived our first couple nights home without incident. Olivia is doing really well and sleeps very well at night. No complaints so far. In fact, she really doesn't even cry that much - just occasionally gets a bit fussy when she is hungry!

.

One of my wonderful neighbors, Amy, had volunteered to organize some of our friends and neighbors to bring us dinner every other night for the first couple weeks to help us out. What a wonderful gesture, we feel very fortunate to have her and all the wonderful friends that have already volunteered to help us out.

Randy and Sara volunteered to bring us dinner Monday night for our first night home. They also brought over Gracie to meet Olivia, her best friend, for the first time. (they couldn't meet in the hospital because Gracie is under 1 and they have strict rules about that). Anyway, here are some cute pics of the two of them on their first meeting:

Who are you???

We have also become quite addicted to taking pictures of our little one. We just think she is the most beautiful baby girl on the planet and can't help ourselves. So, here are some of our most recent favorites for your enjoyment.

Here's her first night home. She looks so little in her pack-n-play. She did so well!

Good morning, sunshine!

On a complete (but hilarious) side note, Grant has been changing her diaper while I am doing this blog entry and just as he got her all cleaned up with a new diaper on - she let out a rather loud "man-ish" toot with a lovely surprise. Yup, guess he'll be changing that diaper again! She looked so proud of herself, too! Grant said that it wasn't necessary for her to do that, but it was pretty hilarious! :)


Olivia also has her first doctor's appt. this afternoon. She had already lost 1/2 lb (down to 7 lbs even) when we checked out of the hospital - but otherwise, her pediatrician told us that she was perfect and had normal weight loss. We'll get to see how she's doing now that she's left the hospital. I'll keep you posted on that one.
