Home from the Hospital

On Wednesday, November 21, 2012, we brought you home from the hospital in the same outfit that your Papi wore on his journey home from the hospital back in 1979.  You looked adorable.

Marco picked us up from the hospital and we had such a hard time figuring out the car seat.  Baby gear is no simple matter.  At home, Mimi and Doodle had put a lot of love into making the house perfect.  An "It's a girl" banner hung in the living room, and an animal banner hung in your room, alongside a cute balloon.  In the kitchen a confetti cake with confetti frosting sat on the oven, ready for me to devour.

The next day we had to go back to the hospital to have your billy ruben checked.  We decided to go outside and take the bus and the BART to the hospital.  This trip turned out to be a bit controversial, but you did fantastic.  You stayed in Papi's Ergo and you were so happy.  Your mommy had a hard time walking so far because I was sore from labor.

Over the next week, we really started to get to know each other.  We celebrated a Whole Foods Thanksgiving here at the house, and you were the star of the show.  The grandparents and many friends all showered you with so much love and gave us tons of support for which we were very grateful.

We loved to go on outings with you as well because it's Christmas time in the city so there is a ton going on in Union Square and it looks simply gorgeous with all the lights and decorations.  We tried to take outings whenever possible.
