Homecoming!

We were discharged from Rex on Saturday, August 9. Savannah's Aunt Robin and Uncle Waylon + Cousin Noah stopped by to see us off. They got some great shots as we left the hospital. Once we arrived home Nana and Grandpa Parham were at the house to welcome us. They took some great shots as Savannah saw her new home for the first time. She also met Kaleb and we are sure they will be the best of friends.

During our hospital stay, Savannah lost 8.5 ounces (she was originally 7'3). When we left on Saturday she had already gained an ounce and weighed a whopping 6'11! The doctor did notice a small amount of jaundice (we really couldn't tell), but was not at all concerned since she was breadtfeeding and pooping/peeing:) well!

On Sunday, August 10 Savannah met a few of her neighbors on Currituck. She met Emily, Suzanne, Lars & Karen.

Thanks to so many family and friends who have brought by meals and welcoming presents. You are all very appreciated by the 3 of us!

Starting a routine...

Hello to all! Just wanted to take a few minutes to catch up on how everything has been going. The hospital room has been quite a busy place for the last two days and Savannah is surely one loved baby. Thanks to everyone that has stopped by helped to wlecome her into the world. The first night Savannah had a hard time adjusting to her new world and was up all night long which, of course, meant her mommy and daddy were kept up all night as well. Andrea has started breast feeding and with the help of a lactation consultant and Savannah's aunt Robin everything is really starting to click on that front! Last night Savannah slept most of the night and this morning her mommy and daddy are feeling much better because they got some sleep last night too. Andrea is feeling much more confident about her ability to breast feed and her milk is already starting to come in! She also informed me (Sean) this morning that she is ABSOLUTELY IN LOVE with Savannah! I have to whole-heartedly agree with her! Andrea has started moving around a bit after the C-section and even managed to walk up to the nursery last night to watch Savannah get weighed. She is still very sore but handling it like a champ. I am so proud of her! We will touch base again. Thanks for stopping by and checking on Savannah's progress.

Love, Sean, Andrea and Savannah.
