1st day home...

Birth Announcement

We were happily discharged from the hospital this morning. The pediatrician gave us two thumbs up for Harper even though she was showing some very minimal signs of jaundice in her chest area. Her weight was around 9 lbs 6 oz (only a 5 ounce drop from her birth weight so far). I was given the heave ho by my doctor. hahaha. I'm supposed to return to see him in exactly one month. Harper has an appointment with the pediatrician for this coming Monday at 10:45 am.

Once we had everything packed up and ready to go, we left the room and headed towards the exit. We were caught by a nurse's assistant who informed us laughingly that baby and I were not allowed to leave unescorted. Whoops! Forgot about that. We got the wheelchair VIP treatment to the car. Yay us! We made it home by 10 am. Riley was at daycare already so we just settled in and relaxed for the rest of the day. Daddy and I got our first decent shower in days. Those hospital showers really suck. I'm definitely looking forward to my first night back in a decent bed as well... even if Harper wakes me up every hour on the hour to be fed.

Omie made us enchiladas for dinner. Daddy went into work for a few hours but was home in time to put Riley to bed. Riley was wonderful with Harper when she got home from daycare. She kept pointing to her and saying "Baby?" Even when she sat down for dinner, Harper was asleep in the bassinet behind her and Riley looked at me and said "Where's baby?" It was too cute. I was breastfeeding Harper when Riley first got home and she climbed right into my lap, gave me a kiss, pointed to Harper with a smile and carefully sat down in my lap to play with Omie's iPhone. Things are going very very well.

Our next door neighbor's girls made us some Welcome Home Harper signs. Love them!!
