One of your first pictures. You were and are still so cute!
Your first bath in the hospital. We didn't get to give you a bath until we got home. I wasn't anywhere near you at this time, I was still in surgery being closed up!
Look how yellow you were!
While we were in the hospital, you got to start meeting family members. It took me awhile to get out of surgery so I only got to see you for a minute before they took you to the nursery with your dad. They made him worry so because I was taking a long time to get out and he wasn't getting updated!
I was so happy to see you. I wanted to keep you forever but I was also completely exhausted. So I had to give you up to dad, Nanny, and Grampy to watch you so I could get a little rest.
Because you were a c-section, you had a perfect head. Your dad was so happy for that. He really didn't want you to have a cone head. In case he tries to tell you otherwise, he had a very bad cone head as a baby. Ask Nanny all about it.
Great Grandpa and Great Grandma Lavachek came to visit you. They couldn't wait to meet you.
And your godmother Dorothy was busting down the doors. Everyone loved you from the start!
And here's G-ma with you. She only got to stay around 24 hours and she had to change her flight plans because you came early. She was originally going to come up when we had your c-section scheduled. I don't think she minded so much after she met you.
And you will see a lot of picture with you and your mittens. Just like in my tummy, you were fascinated by touching your face. You always gave yourself terrible scratches!
Momma's best friend Kortnie couldn't wait to come either. She's the one who got the 5am text that you were on your way and she's the one who made all the phone calls and texts to let everyone know you had arrived!
Momma and Daddy stayed with you the whole time. The only time Daddy left was to get dinner from the hospital or to get Momma more water. He couldn't stand to be away from you or me. He worried so much about both of us that he almost never slept. Momma was exhausted enough that she slept a lot to heal. You slept a lot too which was a great blessing. You would eat then sleep but you actually spent a lot of time awake, alert, and aware during the day. Everyone was surprised.
Finally, after three days, we get to go home. It was chilly outside so we had you bundled up tight. Notice how jaundiced you were?
