home sweet home

We are so happy to have our little girl home. She slept her first night in the bassinet we used with both our boys. My cousin Brenda gave it to us and it's come in so handy. I love the glowing light button, vibration and music it plays. I ended up having to wake Lauren up every three hours to eat. She nursed and went right back to sleep all swaddled up. Hopefully this trend continues!

She loves snuggling in the moses basket and we love it because we can carry it easily from room to room.

This morning she had her 5 day checkup. She is gaining weight and her slight case of jaundice is gone. Once she is back up to her birth weight, I can let her sleep without waking her up to eat. Grow, baby grow!

Lauren loves being snuggled and we all take turns holding her.













Austin loves holding his baby sister and gives her lots of kisses.

Ethan is excited to teach his baby sister all about his newest obsession... Legos.

We are very happy to be home with our little sweetie. The boys have had fun playing with their Gege and Granddaddy. We really appreciate all their help since we have been home!
