John stayed home with us for the first two days, but had to go back to work.... Since he has to leave so early in the morning to fit in work and school, I try and do baby duty on my own in the middle of the night. I need a husband who is alert enough to drive to work and not crash... Today he let me take a long nap. He and Abigail had a nice time together. I enjoyed sleeping in my bed again... With the oxygen and monitor, it makes it a little tricky to move around the house. So, we spend most of our time downstairs.
Things are going well so far.... At her pediatrician appointment on Tuesday Abby weighed 7lbs 3oz -- my birth weight.... A funny side note: my cousin and I were born two weeks apart, and have spent our lives doing things together - even when we haven't meant to. To keep this tradition going, we found out we were both pregnant and due the same day - and both discovered it on Father's Day.... We obviously did not have our babies at the same time, but she did have her baby two days before Abby came home. Our little girls left the hospital weighing about the same, and both weighed the same at their pediatrician appointments.... We plan to take pictures of our girls soon....
First Bath at Home: Notice the counter of bottles, an oxygen tank, and the mess on the counter behind -- the pile of papers is things for Abigail and other stuff relating to the hospital and such....It looks like a tornado hit our house, but we are working on getting it back under control. The counter of feeding supplies will be with us for awhile....
Here is the first bear picture and the most recent bear picture:

glad you are doing well!
Those "bear pics" really show how much she has grown! Good job, Abby!
Oh you are such a great mom already! she is so beautiful! If you ever need a nap you call me!!
Kim, I am so happy that you are all home as a family. Abby looks great! I know you and John are beat, but hang in there the stronger she gets the more rest you'll get. Last Sunday Abby kept popping into my mind. I prayed for her as soon as I got to church, then right after communion she was back in my head, so I said another prayer. I was so excited when you text me a few hours later that she was home. I have prayed for Abby every day since she was born and I am so happy she is home with you and John. I have always believed in miracles and you are probably holding one right now. In time when you are more rested and Abby is stronger I would love to come visit. I have one gift I have been saving for you (it is not another snack bag). I was holding it till Abby came home. Treasure each moment, you will have time to rest before you know it. Love, Amy
It's great to see how well she is doing at home. I'm sure you are exhausted...but you are being an amazing Mom!
