More of Emily's First: Days 5-8 and Facebook Status

First...Here is our angel! This is what she wore to church yesterday.
From 1-30-09 Emily's 2nd Week

Stories I forgot to tell from the hospital:

1. The nurse had come to get Emmie to take her to the ped. for the first time. After Emmie left, Jeremy went out into the hall to get some snacks from the kitchen and her heard the nurse wheeling her down the hall saying "Come on hairy". This is because she didn't have anything on her bed except for a pink card that said "Long". too funny since she has all this hair!

2. We loved having all the friends and family come up to the hospital, but I think we broke a new record of 36 visitors on Sunday. It didn't seem like that many, but wow - we are blessed!

More Firsts for Emmie:

On Thurs, we went to the Brookwood Breastfeeding Support Group here in Pelham. It was helpful to get some tips and also weigh Emily. She is up 2 oz. from when she left the hospital.

Emily had her first doctor's appt. with Dr. Gewin in Cahaba Heights on Friday. He said she was healthy. Her heart sounded great. Her ears looked good. Her softspot was perfect. He said that her paperwork from the hospital on her first heel prick was good. Her thyroid and PKU results were good. She goes back in about 2 weeks for another heel pricking. so sad!

Friday night, Jeremy and I got to go on our first day and she had her 1st babysitters. My parents are still in town, so they babysat while we went to eat Mexican and then went on a Wal-mart trip. We missed her, but enjoyed being out.

Saturday night, I had my 1st Realization - (conversation with Mom) "We can go to dinner at 6p. (pause) oh, I guess I need to figure out what time I need to feed Emily." (laughing because I forgot about nursing her)

We went to church on Sunday. It took us 15 min. to get into the Sanctuary and then we were the last ones to leave when the service was over. We are blessed by so much love. Jeremy said he felt like he was with a rock star. :)
