Finally Home

We were finally discharged from the hospital at about 5:30 last night. Madeleine needed one more check from the pediatrician to check for jaundice and to make sure her temperature regulation was alright, and, of course, he didn't show up until 4:30. Everything's looking great, and we'll go in for an office visit early this week.

Honey, H, Aunt Lou, and Claire were all waiting for us at our house when we got home. Claire was hiding in her room, saying she was scared to see her sister. J, M, and I went up to find her and she quickly warmed up. The first thing she said when she saw her was "Look at those teeny tiny toes! Awww..." C wanted to hold her, so we all trooped downstairs to take the obligatory sibling pictures in front of the Christmas tree. C was so gentle and loving, giving M kisses and wanting to hold her hand. I don't think there was a dry eye in the room.

We all had a good first night, and are settling in wonderfully as a family of four. We have lots of pictures to post, and hopefully I'll find some time soon to do that.
