Bringing Her HOME

And the first thing we have to do is hold her!!!!Caroline ran to greet us!!Sweet Neighbors did these balloons on Wednesday! They lasted all week! I LOVE my neighborhood!!!!Campbell McCall just loving the ride home!!!! She slept the whole wayI am so COZYDaddy is driving VERY carefully! Our last few minutes in the hospital....I took the beautiful day gown GayGay made for Campbell but just couldn't get her out of the hospital shirt. She looked so cozy!Bye Bye room 480 Northside Hospital....we enjoyed our stay and thought the nurses and staff were just great. I was sad...Brook Shields sad. Still am actually. I am thrilled with my precious daughter but quite emotional that this could be my last baby. It is beautiful wonderful, HARD, time but so special and precious at the same time. Every emotion you can feel I think I have felt with Campbell.

Dave stayed two nights with me and GayGay stayed two nights. I cherish this time especially with Dave. We stayed up all night and talked and loved on this precious angel from heaven. He is the BEST Dad in the world and I am so blessed to have him in my life. He changed her diapers and burped her better than I could especially having had the C. This is the last day Caroline came to visit. She was so thrilled to be there she wanted to be in every one's lap!!!! And so we let her hold Campbell. This was about day two of holding Campbell. She just couldn't see her enough. It was like she couldn't get close enough. So, I said, "Do you want to hold her?" And she got SO EXCITED!!!!!! Campbell lost a lot of weight in the hospital. More than Caroline. My RN said C-section babies have a scewed birth weight because they are filled with amniotic fluid. I thought that was pretty interesting. The first night she spit up and coughed up a lot of clear mucus. And had A LOT of dirty diapers. That being said she lost 11 ounces....so we were advised to supplement the precious angel from heaven. These are the first of those feedings. Since then my milk is in and she has gained a little bit back of that initial weight loss.
