Homeward Bound

After a good day of baking wrapped up with the "biliblanket", Robbie and I were released from the hospital this morning around 11:30!

I know I have lots of catching up to do on the blog this week... what happened on Sunday, why we were in the hospital an extra day, how things are going, all our awesome visitors, Daisy, and of course... pictures.

But today I'm trying to figure out what having a baby at the house when you can only take the stairs a couple of times a day means.  We're trying to get things pre-positioned for baby.  Diapers, feeding tools, places to sleep, etc.    Trying to get things pre-positioned for mama for water, food, comforts, Daisy care.

I didn't realize how many things I had on my to-do list between Monday and Wednesday that were left unfinished with baby coming a little early.

I haven't had the "there's a baby in my house" freak out yet.

I'm sure it is coming.

His Future's So Bright...

He's gotta wear.... shades.

Poor Robbie is officially now an Edwards. 

First, we have an earthquake. 

Saturday looks like we're going to be at least brushed by the hurricane. 

And this morning we woke, packed and were ready to check out, when we got the news that he's lost a little too much weight and his bilirubin (liver) counts aren't great.  So we're sentenced to another night of hospital duty.

As you can tell, he's undergoing his first GTL, Jersey Shore style, under the tanning lights.  This one's for you Aunt Robin!

Nunquam Securus Baby Boy!

A Day in Pictures







I Feel the Earth. Move.

Under my hospital bed!

More baby pictures and stories to come, since that's what you are here for, but.  Wow.  Baby Robbie has inherited his parent's impeccable luck.

Leave it to Virginia to have the worst earthquake in a century within his first 24 hours.

An earthquake?  While in a hospital?  When you can't get out of bed? 

Now THAT is scary.

Thank God my friend Julie was here and grabbed Robbie to keep him safe in case anything went terribly wrong.

And for small blessings... that I wasn't on the OR table for my c-section when that was happening! 

We saved the hospital memo on the earthquake that went out late yesterday afternoon.  We figure it will make a good story for the baby book one day.
