Well, so much for the wisdom of modern medicine. When our little Danielle was born 1 week ago, the doctors told us she would have to be in the hospital for 6 weeks. Just Tuesday, they told us it wouldn't be that long, maybe 4 weeks. Yesterday, they told us to pack her up and take her home - less than a week after her birth! It's a Christmas miracle!
It is true what they say about the first day you bring a new baby home - you don't get much sleep. Only a few hours after we got home from the hospital, we had to turn right around and go back. Not for Dani, but for Tanna! Her foot swelled up like a big ol' balloon, but only on one side. Her doctor thought it might be a blood clot and told her to go to the hospital. Tanna wanted me to stay with Dani while a friend drove her 40 minutes back to Seton Medical. I got to be a lone daddy for awhile, it was, uh, fun?
Long story short, Tanna is OK. The swelling is going down and she is keeping an eye on it. She got home at 2:30 or so and we didn't get to sleep for awhile after that. So, first night, no sleep.
I wanted to post a few more pictures. My dad took these on his camera phone, I like them a lot. If you start to get tired of baby pictures, TOUGH! Enjoy-
Goodnight *yawn*

I'm not tired of baby pictures. Keep 'em coming. I'm sure there's PLENTY of time for blogging with a brand-new baby...
I still think that "yawning" picture is just foreshadowing to her wonderful singing voice. After all, with parents like she's got, how can she help but be talented?
It truly is a miracle, And the best part about it is that last AWFUL month of pregnancy. You better get used to those sleepless nights.
What's been going on? I think we need an update! Those little ones change so quickly.
