Hospital to Home

We loved our stay in the hospital and treasured every moment as brand new parents. The staff was amazing and made us very comfortable. Here's Miss J getting weighed & measured for the first time.

Our brand new bundle of joy. We couldn't believe that she was all ours and that we had just become parents!

We had a few visitors come to the hospital to meet our new bundle. First up were the fresh grandparents, my parents. Jayne is their first grandchild.

My brothers and sisters all dropped by to visit too. It was pretty surreal to see my siblings hold my child!

 The majority of our time in the hospital was spent looking at our little one, feeding her and walking around our hospital floor. I often didn't want to go to sleep because I just wanted to spend more time with Jayne. Needless to say, we are happy and proud parents!

We were lucky enough to get to stay at the hospital until Friday morning.We loved it and often referred to it as a little hotel. We loved the food, nurses, service and atmosphere there. I think just how special everything was with a new baby around made it that much better too. :) When we left I found it hard to imagine that everyone else's lives hadn't just stopped for a huge change...whereas ours had just changed forever.

We got Jayne dressed for the first time and ready to go. Her little newborn clothes were even a bit big on her!

Seeing her in the car seat that had sat at our house for the past couple months was surreal. This wasn't "the baby's" seat any more-it was our baby's seat, Jayne's seat.

And before we knew it we were home with our own child! I feel like this couch/room is where I lived for the first couple of weeks at home...feeding, being fed, resting, holding my girl, just getting through the first hazy days... 

Mr. Koda was very friendly with Jayne and didn't take long at all to get used to a new little body in the house.

I love the feeling of having a newborn in the home. There is such a special spirit to them and the love is almost tangible. There was a steep learning curve but I wouldn't have traded it for anything. We're still eventually getting the hang of things as new parents...like Phil here...we were catching zzz's whenever possible!

We're happy to have our little family at home together. Its surreal sometimes that I'm a mom. At times I feel like I'm just babysitting and Jayne's mom will be back soon to take her home. Good thing that's not the case! 

We're so happy she's ours. :)
