Coming Home

 On Saturday, I was SO ready to go home!! I was sick and tired of the hospital.  Jeremy got there about 10:30am and I got showered and ready to leave.  We ate our celebration lunch of steak, baked potato, salad, veggies, roll, apple pie, and iced tea.  WE had to fill out the birth certificate......what's funny is when Jeremy showed up that day, we both had been thinking the exact same name.....Vivianne Lucille Kelley.  We also had Haven May Kelley in our heads.  We liked the nickname Vivi Lu though.  (Since being home, I find it VERY hard to call her Vivianne.  I think it is too many syllables or something, lol! I have been thinking that I should call her Haven May anyway or officially change it but, who knows.  I don't feel like I know her well enough yet.  I don't think babies should be named until about 6 months old!! That way, you know what really suits them!! LMAO!)

Then we waited and waited and waited!!! Ugh.  Dr. Jones was not showing up for his rounds and apparently we had to wait for him to okay me to go home even though he had okayed me to go home the day before.  Sarah and Matt were gonna come visit us but, we thought we were leaving the hospital.  Finally he showed up about 3:00.  He told me I could go home.  Great! 

 This was the outfit Jeremy picked out for her to come home in.  Doesn't she look so pretty!  Another annoyance to us was that usually Jeremy goes shopping to bring a "going home" outfit for each of the kids.  Which he can do because he is in an actual city when we deliver in Quincy.  This time we were just too busy and too far away from anywhere to do it.  So, he picked from some of the outfits I had already bought.  Really it was fine.  But, we just had traditions and things we did that we didn't get to do this time or do it differently this time.  But, there were also perks so whatever.  But, if we were to have another baby.....BAhahahah, nope!

We got home and wanted to relax and get settled in a bit before all the kids came home.  We had just gotten Vivianne to sleep and ourselves about 15 minutes into a nap on the couch (since I didn't sleep at the hospital) when my mom walked in the door with the three older boys!  Sheesh! I was annoyed.  Really annoyed because I had specifically asked her to keep them for another night so we could adjust and rest.  I figured that if they stopped by the house they would start begging to stay.  Luckily, they stayed just a few minutes and left pretty quick so we could rest some more.  The next day was a completely different story!! lol!! I couldn't wait for the kids to get home to hang out with our new, bigger, family!!  

We are super thrilled to have Vivianne in our family and our lives!  She is beautiful and perfect in every way.  She has a little birth mark on the back of her head at the base of her neck.  She has the sweetest smile.  She loves to eat and poops like a champ!  haha!  She is pretty whiny a lot of the time but, we love her anyway!   She just really likes being swaddled and close to mama which is fine with me....most of the time!!  :)
