Elizabeth comes home.

After destroying my back sleeping on the pullout couch in Kricket's birthing room the first night, I got wise: sleep diagonally across the largest section. I felt almost good the next two mornings! If you have the option, I recommend Legacy Good Samaritan as a great place to have a baby: the nurses are great, and the rooms are huge. Seriously. The room we had this time is bigger than some studio apartments I've seen! That comes in handy when people come over to visit.

Elizabeth and Daddy on the pullout couch:


When we brought Abby home from Good Sam, it was over 100 degrees outside, and by the time we got her home, she had a little heat rash. Not a problem in November! Delphine came to help us get all our gear out of the hospital, and brought Abby so she could ride home with us.

Elizabeth's first car ride:


Kricket's Aunt Kathy and Uncle David, cousin Carrie and her son's Brendan and Jacob were at our house when we got home. Kathy and Carrie had brought some great new outfits for the baby. After a long day, we were all pretty tired.


Libby is doing well. Sunday night was loonnnggg, but last night was much better. My boss was nice enough to let me work from home this week, so I can help make bottles and whatnot as Kricket is still on the mend.

Libby has a host of outfits, and we're going to do our best to let her wear all of them!


Stay tuned for our annual "Thanksgiving baby in the pot" picture!
