Heidi's first night on Earth went really well! She slept for 6 hours, then woke for a marathon 2 hour feeding at 4 am. My postpartum contractions were still pretty rough, but Dr. Rajala decided to send us home that morning. The morning and early afternoon were a flurry of paperwork, final checkups and packing up our gear, but we finally got our discharge and headed home about 24 hour after Heidi's arrival! The kids were absolutely thrilled to finally see Heidi outside my tummy and be able to snuggle her. Tammy was happy to be the first to lift the blanket and see the sweet newborn face. I'm so glad the kids were so excited to welcome their new sister with open arms and nothing but love.
Nurse Esther completed the final checks before we were given the green light to get Heidi dressed and ready to go home!
Surprise!
Everybody loves her soft newborn cheeks
"Look at this Teeny!"
Hand sanitizer for everyone
Clara assumes the baby-holding position, haha
Heidi has such a Derek face here!!
My 4 babies! We are so blessed!!
Our sweet Teddy Bear has such a tender heart. Bryce spoke sweetly to Heidi and we can tell he loved her from the moment he saw her.
So many kisses for Heidi... the first of many, many more!
