Today we came home from the hospital. Don't worry we have the whole thing on video tape, just incase you want to watch it someday. I still don't know why we felt we should record this trip but we did...we pick the weirdest things to record these days.
Dad drove us and I set in the back with you as you took your first ride in the car. We played the baby bach CD so that you would be smart and it would hopefully make the ride a pleasureable experience for you. I was worried that riding in a car would some how damage you forever. I complained pretty much the whole trip that your Dad was driving too fast or not being careful enough. I don't know who invented these car seat/ baby carrier things but they are just awkward. They are hard to adjust, hard to get in and harder to get out. Your Dad and I are educated people and we think this is something out of a spaceship. Actually, you pretty much hated the thing too. They made us try the devise it out in the hospital room first. That was not a good thing. You screamed at the sight of it. We put you in it and you did scream then. Of course, my immediate thought was that it was choking or hurting you in some way. The nurse assured me it was completely safe and you were okay. I agreed but it didn't mean I liked it. That first try out/ adjustment was with just a hospital gown on. The next time, we had all of the "bundling" that went with you! So, the straps had to be re-adjusted...you were not happy. I could see at that moment... you are my child, you like things to be done right the first time around. Smart Girl! Finally we were released and were really going home. You looked so precious in your "going home" gown with "mary had a little lamb" smocked on it. Gaga bought it for you from a store called Scrambled Eggs in Hendersonville, NC. It was pink pinwale cordorory. I also put a white sweater, gloves, two blankets and a hat on you so that there would be no part of your body that might get cold. You didn't really like the car seat. I am not so much sure it was the seat you didn't like or all of the bundling that second time. You pretty much screamed the whole way home. We continued to play the baby bach cd.
When we got home Granddaddy Mac, Aunt Celia and Grandma mac (GRAM is what she wants you to call her) were there waiting on us. They had been cleaning up and getting the house ready for you. Granddaddy had the people there installing a glass front door so that you could see outside. Thanks Mom & Dad! You got to meet Babbs (our dog) for the first time. It was love at first sight. She loved you and you her. Aunt Celia and I took photos of you in your crib and photos with babbs. Then you and I layed down for a nap.
When I got up from the nap, I cooked dinner for your Dad and I. It was the first time I had cooked in 9 months! It smelled soooo good! I was soooo hungry!
