Home at last!

Hello again! Well, we got to come home today. It was nice being waited on in the hospital and having a chance to get lots of advice from all of the wonderful nurses and docs at Rex hospital, but we were ready to come home and start enjoying our new family!

Thanks to everyone that came to visit us while we were there. We had lots of our closest friends and family come and see us. We were even surprised to see that my brother, Sean, got to come from the Charlotte area for a little while with Kayla and Shane (his first son from California). Sean even came in quite handy as Olivia was having one of her few moments when she was quite fussy - Sean calmed her right down.

Oh, and by the way, I have a lovely case of laryngitis, that developed while I was in the hospital. So I can hardly even talk! All I want to do is brag about our little angel and tell everyone how wonderful she is, and I can't! She slept all the way through the night - both nights! I know it may not last, but so far, she has been an excellent baby.

Anyway, my parents helped us to get home and settled. They brought me some beautiful daisies and when we got home, we saw that Alan and Susan had decorated our door and mailbox with bows and a balloon to announce our sweet new arrival.

Here are some pictures of us from our first little moments with our new little one at home. (Right now Grant is taking a little nap on the couch with Olivia on his chest - some sweet daddy-daughter time).

Isn't she an angel!

Here she is passed out with a clean diaper and a full belly!

Daddy and Olivia are getting some good bonding time together, too!

We are so in love with this little girl! I never could have imagined how wonderful this could be - she is amazing and we are enamored by her. She is so adorable and has been so good for us that we are just tickled to death. Grant will be home all week and maybe some next week - so we will be spending some quality time as our new family!
