Homeward Bound!

We have jumped our hoops and said the right things and made it through the tests and now we are almost ready to get in our car and head to the house.

Emma can hear beautifully, she can breastfeed, she let them prick her heel and bleed on paper circles, she has been immunized, she's been antibiotic-ized, she has had her first portrait pictures taken, she has successfully pooped little (and big) tar poops, she has---------

WE INTERUPT THIS BLOG MESSAGE FOR AN URGENT UPDATE
Kristen Hunter has just put on her socks entirely by herself with no help from anybody
WE NOW RETURN YOU TO OUR REGULARLY SCHEDULED BLOG

wet herself and her bed when Poppa was late on the new diaper, she has made it through her first night, and she has thoroughly endeared her self to her parents and and whole ton of other peoples. 

Emma has been busy.

So she's sleeping right now and we're waiting for discharge and all is well with the world.  At least with our little part of it.  

We're still really hoping to get a bunch of photos up on the web for your enjoyment, but Jeff has been slacking and lately falling asleep anytime he gets a chance to do anything that's not take care of Emma or take care of Kristen.  In fact it's not uncommon that both Jeff and Emma fall asleep when Jeff is supposed to be taking care of Emma.  But, and this is an important but, we both have been taking pictures and the pictures almost do Emma justice.  

I'm going to head back to waiting but stay tuned...

We have a video of Jeff and Emma blogging to get up and we have the unveiling of the middle name coming.

Sleep whenever and wherever you can. Really. And don't apologize to anyone for it. Except maybe in church during a sermon. Especially if you are preaching.

As for the middle name--don't forget my advice from however many months ago! (big grin)

she's very lovely..and i agree with Lynn totally...SLEEP WHENEVER you possibly can. enjoy all the moments, the cries, the smiles, the moments...they are all wonderful. and when you're really stressed out (b/c it will happen eventually), just keep telling yourself, this is allll worth it. every last minute of it. oh, and when you take pics of her, take some of her sad faces. they are very cute reminders when she's older. i've got some of corey and the rest of them...really funny to show them. they grimace and say, I made THAT face? really? lolol...
Again, congratulations to the both of you, especially to Kristin for a job well done! Take care of yourselves....
