We're Home

Ella and I got the OK from our doctors on Monday to head home, so we were all excited to leave the hospital and start figuring out our new routine at home.  We made it home around lunchtime and Addison and Star got to the house shortly after we got home.

Ella modeling her coming home outfit.  It was a wee bit large on her, but fortunately I had bought a newborn size and not 0-3.  She is modeling her dress on the blanket that Aunt Susan knitted for her. 

Ella did great on the car ride home.  She wasn't a huge fan of getting all buckled in the car seat, but once we got moving we didn't hear a peep from her.  

When Addison got home, we asked her to give Ella a tour of the house.  She showed Ella her nursery and then we went to Addison's room.  That is pretty much where the tour ended.  Addison wanted to hold her for a minute and then she got a blanket out for Ella to lay on and then she started pulling out toys to show Ella.  Granted Ella slept through most of show and tell, but I'm sure she was soaking it all up. 

Not surprising, Star was clueless that we were +1 when she got to the house.  Star did her "I'm so excited to see you" routine, running around the house crying/squeaking with excitement.  It wasn't until I was changing Ella's diaper later and Ella started to fuss that Star realized what was going on.  Ella's cry sounds more like a kitten crying than a human at this point, so as soon as Star heard that she ran into the nursery and put her paws up on the changing table to see what the noise was.  Maternal instincts kicked in at that point and since then it has been kisses on the baby's head and she is on full-alert to keep us all safe from the floral delivery guys, mailman, etc.
