Hospital Visitors and Going Home

We stayed in the hospital from Thursday to Saturday around 1pm. There was a HUGE snowstorm those days and we heard the roads were very bad. Many schools were closed that Friday. Luckily we live so close to the hospital that I wasn't worried. Since we were inside for the majority of 3 days, we pretty much missed it anyway.

Visitors at the hospital included my immediate family, Grandma, Megan, Tara and Melissa, among others. There was also a hospital photographer that came and took some shots of Reese for the St. E website.

We did get a little sleep here and there, but woke her and fed her every 3 hours. At night, Shannon (another nurse I knew) took her out of the room so we really got some rest. That was soo helpful!

This was when we realized Reese LOVES to be swaddled...and she still does (at 6+ weeks). She doesnt sleep well when she's not. As you will see, Reese has her usual scrunched face in most of these early photos....

On Saturday, it took us forever to pack up all of our things, gifts, etc, but luckily the ride home was about 2 min long. When we got home on Saturday afternoon there was a stork in the yard. 

We were curious how Logan would react to Reese, but he was fine. He only sniffed her a few times...he was excited we were home and seemed more interested in us. He did try to jump over her while I was holding her on the couch the first day and his back feet landed on her belly. That shook me up, but she was fine after a single cry. He did get a little nervous and walked around when we cried for a period of time, and even went upstairs once after he had had too much. He is good now and just sniffs and licks her occasionally.  :)
