We're Home!

The last night in the hospital, Annelise and Daddy watched a Razorback baseball game. Annelise brought them luck--they won!

Bryan drove us home from the hospital at noon on Thursday, June 18. Annelise was all dressed up in a beautiful white dress and she slept all the way home (all 10 minutes).

First time in the car seat--she looks so tiny in it!

Unfortunately we weren't allowed to bring home any of the nurses--our little girl is quite a handful! With Bryan having to get back to his studying routine, Annelise's Gran came to stay with us for a week to help out.

She likes her swing and it helps to give us all a break!

Papa took photos of her all dressed up before we left for our return visit to the hospital. Since she is breastfeeding, she had to be re-weighed a few days following delivery. She weighed 6lbs and 12 ounces the day we went home, and fortunately weighed the same at the re-check on Saturday, June 20. She taught me a valuable lesson the day of the re-check visit...schedules do not matter to her! We were 15 minutes late for her appointment, I didn't have time to put on any make-up or fix my hair, we flew out of the house without a pacifier and she screamed all the way to the hospital! Lesson learned.

Shelby has been wonderful with Annelise. She is a great big sister and seems to be protecting her. She has to be in the room with her wherever we are and she sniffs her regularly to make sure Annelise is okay.

Very happy in Gran's arms
