First few days at home

August 10

Home from the hospital - less than 36 hours after delivering. Was both good and bad to be home.

Aunt Julie and Uncle Jason came to visit

August 11

Greta loved Lola and loves giving her kisses

First sponge bath - Lola did not enjoy it at all.

August 12

• Broke down and had to pump to relieve pressure - but really going to try and not do it as much.  Hoping I can survive on only once a day.
• Greta and mom went on a shopping adventure (for new underwear for Greta - who's all potty trained now)
• Lola went on her first walk with daddy, Greta and Grandma 

• Mom chauffeured me and Lola to her first check up - dr said she's perfect :-) Weight 8 lbs and 2 ounces. Now we don't have to go back until her 2 week check up.
• Mom left after dinner 
• I had to wake Lola up to eat - Slept from 9:30 - 2:30 and then from 3:00 - 5:30
• Greta own bed from 8:45 to almost 7

• First day on our own and we survived.  Greta struggled a little and was starting to realize there is competition in the house, but not even sure it was competition that bothered her so much as that mommy can't do as much with her right now.  And that makes me feel like a horrible mommy.  But we are managing and I think Greta is getting used to it a bit more.  
• Aunt Mary and the kids came over to visit and help out a bit.  Also to swim in the pool which is ready to go.  Ryan was the first in and then Karle and then Kahle.  Greta and I put our toes in - that's about all I can do.  But felt nice.

• Lola had her first blow out here she needed a wardrobe change.
• Papa stopped over on his way back from his trip.  Greta was soooo excited to see him.  I let her stay up just for it and I think dad and Greta were both happy.  Greta put on the charm and hammed it up.  
• Lola slept from 9:30 - 3:00 and then from 3:30 - 6:00 
• Greta woke up about 1:30 and I heard her so I went to get her and found her in the nursery laying on the floor.  Got her back in bed and asleep in about 10 minutes.  Not too bad.

My sleeping beauty!
