What a long 48 hours at the hospital! Grandma Elaine and Aunt Becca came back to spend the morning with Elena and Lauren while Juan went home to deal with the other baby... Bindy. He brought home the blanket, hat, and outfit Elena wore on Tuesday to introduce the smell. He got creative and dressed up a teddy bear in the getup and put it in Elena's swing. Bindy was then treated to an extra special long walk in the park.
Today was the day we had really been waiting for. As nice as it was to have all the support at the hospital, all we really wanted to do was bring the baby home and have her in our own house. This morning she was taken to the nursery and given one more bath. Mom and dad attempted to dress her in the beautiful dress we bought her. Unfortunately, it was HUGE. The tights were literally the length of her entire body and the bloomers could have fit three of her in them. She still looked beautiful... although she was not happy to be wearing a dress. We put some pictures up on the picasa site.
Bindy has taken quite nicely to the baby. She is treating her like a puppy-- she keeps licking her and stands guard next to her. We all took a nap this afternoon and with every peep out of Elena, Bindy was at the bassinette checking on her, and then nudging me to wake up.
We are so happy to be home and looking forward to our first night with her!
