You mean we have to leave the hospital???

Our hospital stay was great, we can't say enough about how wonderful all the nurses were and how comfortable they made our stay (except Erik's "bed" maybe).  Lily roomed with us the whole time so we were able to get accustomed to her feeding and sleeping schedule before leaving.  Many times the nurses asked if we wanted her to go to the nursery to let us sleep, but every time we refused. We did not want to be without her, even for a second.  Even thinking about her leaving the room made me miss her!!

Lily's first bath, she clearly loved it!!


Erik's makeshift "bed"
I literally did not want to put her down
Daddy and his girl!


"mom, dad....you're embarrassing me!"
When it was time to leave the hospital, I was filled with mixed emotions. I was excited to bring Lily home but scared of leaving the safety of the hospital.   What do you mean, we won't have a button to push when I need Motrin, or someone to cook and deliver all our meals, or a nurse to teach us for the 12th time how to swaddle Lily when she wiggles her way out of ours?  Could we do this on our own?  No one really answered this question before sending us on our way.  We left on Tuesday and Erik was back at work on Wednesday. 

Lily HATED her car seat...
...but loved when her daddy took her out to soothe her!


Ready to go home!!



Holding hands made her feel better too!

  1. So excited for you guys. And so happy that we have a new neighbor! She is so adorable, even when she is screaming her head off for Patty to stop talking :)
