The Lyon's Den

Well, we've been home since Sunday and we're managing well. Brielle is such a good little girl. She rarely cries, and when she does it's more like one little Waah and that's it. She is an excellent eater and sleeper (especially when in her mommy's arms). I think I'm recovering well from the c-section and have hardly had to take any meds since I've been home. Granted, I've had the best mom ever taking care of me. She finally got to stay in her own bed last night for which I'm sure she was excited for. She's been feeding me very well and taking very good care of my boys. Thanks Mom for EVERYTHING!!!!! I'm curious how much Brielle weighs now, but I will take her in for her 2 week checkup on Wednesday. We've been battling a little jaundice, but not too severe and she is starting to come down each day.
Here are some pictures from our last week starting with the day coming home from the hospital (Her first ride in her carseat).

You can kind of see the hair color here, although this makes it look a little more blonde.

Brielle's first dress. It's so fun to play dress up with my new little doll.

Our baby girl arrived yesterday, May 13th at 9:51pm. We are so happy to welcome her to our family. She weighed 6lb 12oz and is 19 1/2" long. Brielle has lots of auburn hair and long piano playing fingers. Her hair color is really unusual for a baby. The nurses say they have never seen it before. This is going to be really short, cuz the meds from the C-section are making me itch like a crazy person. More to come later.
