Welcome Home Elizabeth

We had our little sleep over with Elizabeth at the hospital Friday night and the doctors said she was ready to go home bright and early Saturday morning. We packed up all Elizabeth’s things and got in the car.

If you thought I drove like a little old lady before, you should have seen me driving her home yesterday. I’m pretty sure a little old lady passed me in her Oldsmobile and gave me a WTF look. I’m sure I’ll get used to it.
Once we got home mom got her fed and I got her pack and play put together in our bedroom. This pack and play came with bassinet, changing table, napping station, and side bag accessories. The only thing it’s missing is a cup holder. We have not decided how long, but Elizabeth will stay with us in our room for a little while before moving to her nursery. I’m not sure if that’s for our comfort or hers.

Mo, Frazier, and Casper have no clue what to think of Elizabeth yet. Mo, and Frazier’s ears perk up every time she makes a noise. Off and on they both seem really curious about her. There are lots of new sounds and smells for us all to get used to.
Grandma, Grandma, and Guy-Guy came over to visit and brought us dinner last night. It was nice to have some calmer more experienced parents around to help put us at ease.

We all slept pretty well last night. It’s much easier to relax when you’re at your own house. Amy and I took turns with the feedings so that we could both get some rest. Hopefully we can work out schedule that keeps us both as rested as possible.

Although we have not been able to paint the little song that I am writing on the walls of the nursery yet, here are a few pictures of things in the nursery.

Awww everything looks so lovely and peaceful for her. I know you guys are going to be amazing parents :-) I've seen it in your eyes since the moment you guys said you were pregnant. I can't wait to see her again when I come and visit :-) xo

BEN! I really should check your blog more often. Congrats on the arrival of your daughter. I'm glad to hear that she was able to come home and that she's doing well. I look forward to seeing and hearing more :)

How's the new job?! I'm less than 2 months out from being done with school, the future is bright :)
