First day home

We woke up early and started getting our stuff ready to go home. We enjoyed our stay and all the nurses were wonderful, but we were ready to get home. The doctor came and checked on Harper before we left. He said that everything looked good, except for she's got a little jaundice. Her biliruben level was 11, if it gets above 15, Home Health will bring us lights that she'll have to be under. So we have to take her in tomorrow to get her biliruben tested again.

Amy gave her some newborn onesies and this is one of them. It is so cute. I love it on her!
The pants are also newborn size, but they are a little big.

Getting in her carseat.
So excited to take our baby home!She kinda gets lost in her carseat.Not sure why she felt the need to flip me off, but it's pretty cute!
Dad came to see us off and help us get all our stuff out to our car.
Harper's first car ride.

Leaving the hospital!
We left the hospital a little after 8:30 am and got home a little after 9:00 am. Harper slept the whole way home.


I love her face in this one.

We got all settled in, I took a little nap, and then we had our first at home visitors. Our friends Zane and Alisha came over for a bit.

I think she was getting sick of all the pictures I was taking of her.

Then some of my family came and hung out. The Harris's, the Copes, and Monica all came.
Angela, Harper, Owen, and Amy

Of course, Jason got a hold of my camera

The Harris's didn't stay long, but everyone else ended up staying until like 9:30. Mom, dad, and Amberly also came and brought dinner. We watched Modern Family, Alex and I made a cake and brownies, then we ate dinner, hung out, and played Nertz. It was a fun night.

After everyone left, we got Harper jammied up.

Then I went and rocked her in her chair until she fell asleep.
It was a pretty rough night for us, but we survived our first night home!
