First Days and Coming Home

April 4th -5th
The first time Zoey ever saw daylight :) We were all there to celebrate her first day and of course take a million pictures! We all wanted some good quality time holding her. We spent the day just passing her around :)


Grandma and Zoey

Breanna and Zoey

She got to really meet her cousin Alaina and spend some time cuddling with her! :)

She loved it :)

She could keep eye contact from the very beginning! They say babies can't do that for months! But she would just gaze into my eyes like she'd been waiting a long time to do that. It just brought tears to my eyes!

She lost a little weight (very normal) She was 7 lbs 5 oz. when we left the hospital.

 April 5th

We didn't love staying in the hospital so we went home a day early. 

Here she is, all ready to go home. She's so small she only takes up like half of the car seat! :)

 

It was fun to bring her home and show her her room and where she'd be living. We had spent a lot of time carefully making everything perfect for her arrival! :) I think she appreciated it! :) 

She sucked her thumb in the ultrasounds and it was so fun to see her do it in real life. She even sucked her thumb when she was sleeping!

Her first time sleeping in the bassinet right next to mommy and daddy so we'd hear every cute noise. And so I could just feed her when she got hungry.

So happy to be home and ready to start our life as one little happy family! :)
