Home Life > We Brought Katie Home!

We're home!
Yesterday the hospital seemed like an OK place to stay for a while. Kind of comforting, all our basic needs taken care of. Today we were glad to be getting out of there. Hospitals are a terrible place to sleep with all of the staff coming into the room for one thing or another. We were both beat.

Home feels great. The bed's going to feel wonderful. Even the shower here is hotter.

Melissa's milk is coming in, and the baby is more satisfied after feedings.

The dogs and cats are curious about the baby. I brought home her shirt and blanket yesterday to get them used to the smell. Shorty - our Corgie/Chow mix - loves the baby and guards her to keep the other animals away.

Melissa's mom came by tonight and helped with the baby while we ate, unpacked, and showered. We were never so glad to see her. My family's coming over tomorrow to bring lunch.

To our friends: we're still calling people back who left messages, and we haven't even looked at our email yet, but we hope to get caught up in the next few days. More pics are on the way. The picture on this post is the official hospital photo.
