Growing and Raising Tiny Little People: Adrienne is 1 week old!

Adrienne turned 1 week old on Sunday September 29th! We celebrated by relaxing at home with a happy baby!

So we summarized the first 2 days in the previous post. We can pick up where we left off.
We took Adrienne home after a very exhausting 2 days in the hospital! It was wonderful, we felt more rested sleeping at home on our comfy couches and bed and had an overall good first night with baby. We had to go back to the hospital for a weight and jaundice check the next day... And we got readmitted.
So we spent days 3 and 4 back in the hospital under bili lights, and i would be lying if i said it wasnt dissapointing.
Getting readmitted was a sad experience, it was the first time that i broke down. Its overhwhelming to take your baby home and have a wonderful night and then come back to the hospital where you know you will have an angry baby and no sleep all night... Thankfully it was just one night and we survived!

So after our hospital journey ended at day 4 we had a visit from grandpa curt and grandma JoJo to look forward to as well as meeting lots of family on saturday at Ron and Annettes house.

Enjoying the diaper messages that people wrote for us at the baby shower: this has been a lot of fun, it is fun to read the diapers in the middle of the night/ and even during the day and see what people have to say. The diapers were supposed to be middle of the night only, but we had a limited supply of newborn diapers and wanted to use all of them before we went to 1s so we have gotten daytime and nighttime messages.

Brad wrote us some wonderful welcome home messages on all the chalkboards and whiteboards. And we got a beautiful flower arrangement from our friend Jessica! We came home the first time to wild flowers from the sauerkraut festival in scappoose so ended up with 2 very gorgeous boquets.
