We're smitten!

We've had a busy day- way too many interruptions to enjoy our little girl, but oh how we do! She's the perfect little baby in every way. Meanwhile, mommy's been pricked for bloodwork, EKG's, temps, blood pressure, wound assessment...not to mention housekeeping, nutrition, pediatricians, yikes...we've had way too many interruptions today! We just finished a much quieter visit with family- they were here on Day 1, but didn't get to hold, hug, and kiss til tonight!

We love our night nurse, so we're hoping tonight goes a bit more smoothly. Caroline is a master at sleeping and warming your heart. She's working hard on the breastfeeding and doing well. She's also managed to share a few yucky diapers with Daddy. Mommy is all for him continuing this detail!

Mommy's been a bit sore today and was thrilled after all the business of the day to finally get a shower! I'm sure the company we had tonight enjoyed that as well!

Daddy is doing great, and equally smitten with his little girl. We both can't believe what a good baby she is and how blessed we are.

Kudos to Aunt Wendy who still has yet to meet Caroline, but her Jack is on the mend from H1N1 finally. And- Wendy has also suffered through with Doggie duty, so we are so grateful to her in so many ways. She's first in line for quality baby time when we get home!

We believe we may be going home Friday, depending on what the doc says. I've been in lots of pain, so they may be keeping me a bit longer.

We love you all for your well-wishes, support, gifts, prayers, and love. We can't wait to share her with you all. Here's a few more of our favorite photos from today!

  2. Did anyone else notice that Caroline's outfit matches her boppy seat matches the blog background? Too bad they don't make Vera Bradley onesies or I'm sure she'd have one to match!!
