We are home! Sarah and I arrived home last night around 8:30. What a week!

Sarah is a wonderful baby. Upon arrival into this world, she cried most of the first eight hours. I was beginning to wonder what we were in for. I don't think she liked being rudely awaken by a surgeon's scapel from her warm snuggly home. After adjusting, she seems perfectly content to snuggle at mom's breast all day. She nurses for about 20 minutes on one side, falls asleep for a 1/2 hour, then nurses on the other side. We wait an hour, then start the whole process again. She weighed 7lb 6oz when we left the hospital yesterday and was only slightly jaundiced. I still can't imagine I am sitting here holding her as I type. This is one big advantage to having been on bedrest for so long. My bedroom, complete with bedside PC is set up for me to be in bed! Through out the last 24 hours while recuperating from the c/s, I have been able to catch up on all the digest since Monday! All while laying in bed! What an eventful week! Congratulations to Shellie, TJ, Teresa, Tracy, Melissa, Deborah, Lee-Anne, Stacey, Michelle H., and Sarah!
