I can't believe its already been a week and at the same time its hard to believe its only been ONE week.
Well, we finally got to a room saturday night, as a family and oh how amazingly wonderful it was to have her ALL to ourselves. It was just our little family,on our own! We spent the night, just us, no wires, no nurses, no beeping and no one else but us! The nurse left for the first time and I held her in my arms and the tears just flowed! The Lord is so GOOD and we are so very blessed!
we had a good night and then waited for our release on Sunday!
We were discharged, loaded the car and headed home! There were bows on the mailbox and the door, waiting for us and announcing the arrival of our bundle of joy! It was SO SO SO good to be home! We had a good steady stream of visitors, it was nice to see people that were not in scrubs:) Dad and Janina came to stay with us for a few days (they were so helpful) and we enjoyed being around them. The first night home was good, she woke up every 31/2 hours to eat and went back to sleep and I did too.
Monday started off slowly and then we had a few visitors at lunch and then we had our 1st bath at home. We dressed up pretty and went to daddy's work. We had some in the evening. We even had the "church police" over that evening:) it was visitation and Andy and Robert came to see us...well, came to see Mikenna:)
We had a good day and kinda established our routine. Night 2 was as good as the first!
Tuesday was busy ALL DAY LONG! Mike went to work, it was hard to see him leave, I was getting use to him being around:) but I think it was more difficult on him to leave than it was on me. Mikenna had a doctor's appointment, so we all loaded up and headed to San Antonio. Then we stopped by Toys R Us and came home. The visits started we got back and lasted until Bible Study. Then we got to relax and headed to bed. Janina offered to get uo to feed in the night, since it was our last night to have them here to help out. It was nice to sllep through.
Mike went to work this morning, after he brought my little girl to me and we stayed in bed for a while. Dad and Janina left and 'kenna and I laid around all day! It was just us until lunch; my mom came and then "daddy" came home. We took a long nap!!! and then hung out in the afternoon! so nice. We went outside and got to meet some neighbors! Another good day. A very nice end to the 1st week! Now we need to get dressed, we're going to church.
I'll try to be better about blogging, we'll see!

We had soo much fun watching our granddaughter grow her very first week. Yes, I cried as we pulled out the drive way. I am already planning our next visit and wondering how to make 5 hours of driving down to like 1 hour! As we left out I noticed and pointed out to Jerry that a house just a couple of houses down from ya'll is on the market....hmmmm!
