Visitors at the hospital...

Grandpa Steen...

He loves you so much already!!

Libby was so excited she didn't even take off her coat!

Tyler is now a BIG brother...he has plans to teach her a lot of things!

Zack is so excited & has been SO sweet with her!

It's funny how you can just stare at babies for hours...

Aunt Sherry was so glad to meet you too!

Jasmine...she will be like a second sister too Sophie!

Shelly
We love you Shelly....she took care of my kids for a few days & came in the middle of the night when my contractions started. I don't know what I'd do without you!

Josh helped Shelly take care of our kids too...they love him!
My mom & Aunt Alayna also came to the hospital & kept me company...I still need a picture of them!

SOPHIE'S FIRST BATH...

She was pretty mad!

Then she calmed down & enjoyed it.

All fresh with her FIRST bow in her hair!!
If you can't tell...

We are SO excited to "decorate" you!
Grandma brought you this hat...it's a little too big yet, but it looks so cute!!

ANOTHER DAY AT THE HOSPITAL...

The first day Tyler came to see me, I still had on the gown & he walks in & looks at me and says, "Mom, when you come home will you wear your regular clothes?" He was kind of afraid of me!
When he came the next day, he was so glad to see I had my clothes on. He even sat by me, ate lunch & watched a few cartoons with me!

Then he was practicing writing Sophie's name on the board.

Your last night at the hospital they give the parents a special dinner...It was surprisingly very good for hospital food!!

Then we got to go home on Thursday...

Steve getting her ready to go home

Then once we got home we found out she had jaundice really bad. She was almost to the critical point on the chart...which of course freaked me out! We had to take her everyday to the hospital for blood work & had to keep her under lights. By Sunday afternoon we were able to stop the light treatment & we'll find out on her 2 week appointment how she is doing. I think she is doing a lot better because the whites of her eyes aren't yellow anymore.

She is such a good baby...
Thank heavens she would stay in her "tanning" bed so her levels went down!

See the blue light underneath her...That was a little light pad we'd use when you took her out to feed her. We had to feed her a lot because that helps clear the jaundice.

It's amazing how much you love & worry about your baby from the start. They are SO much work, but SO worth it!!

She is definitely our "little sweetie"!!!
