Baby is home!

Alli is 9 days old today! Today was the day she was scheduled to be born, June 1st. We spent three days at the hospital and then came home on Wednesday night, May 26th. My parents have been helping us out a ton. Devin still has to work, but luckily not full days right now, so they have been here to help while he is gone. They have also been making us dinner, and I think we would be reduced to some hot pocket nights if it were not for them.

I don't think you can truly understand how much your parent's love you until you have a child. It is type of love I didn't know existed. We are so happy, and sleep deprived, having her home, but loving all of our time with her. I have a little case of the "baby blues", so if you call and hear a tear in my voice, know that it is just a million hormones rushing out my eyeballs. :)

Such a cute baby girl, but the pictures just don't quite do her justice.

"I love you mom, please feed me." Our little girl is one hungry hungry hippo, she seems to think it is time to eat every time I pick her up. :)

Hip Hip Hooray! Alli loves to squiggle her arms. We keep the mittens on at all times because her hands are constantly in her face and we don't want any scratches on those cute little cheeks!

Leo loves our new addition two. He is very respectful of her space (even though I know he really wants to lick her face). He also gets very concerned when she cries and usually lays near whatever chair the person holding her is in. We love our little boy too. Grandpa has been taking him for his walk. Thank you Grandpa!
