We're back!
Ariana and I are finally home. She's beautiful and sleeping peacfully, I'm drained and wishing I was sleeping peacfully. This will probably be a short blog but I thought I'd give everyone an update from the source.
Ariana Lynn Morrison born 8:43am Fri Sept 12, 2008 weighing 8lbs 10oz.
Wow, how on earth do woman do that more than once. I don't rememeber much of the labour, and what I do I'd rather not, but it's true what they say, it's worth it and you don't remember the pain....much. I'm still trying to heal (they don't tell you about that either). Thanks dad for the cushion, its helping. Dan and I are still recovering from a serious lack of sleep but we lucked out last night and both got about six hours total, a rarity I'm told.
Ariana had borderline Jandice (sp?) so we ended up having to spend the next three days in the hospital, her under a phototheropy light, me and dan on really uncomfortable beds. There's nothing worse than finally seeing your baby and not being able to hold her except to feed. I'm making up for that now. She loves cuddling up to mommy and daddys chest and just lying there listen to our heartbeat.
She finally came home and is doing great...she's very very greedy when it comes to food though. Wow breastfeeding takes forever.
Cutest moment so far,
I was burping her, then let her lay on my chest for a bit to give her a break from feeding. She was fighting sleep and pushed her head up with her eyebrows raised and both hands fisted by her face and gave the biggest yawn. It was one of those why don't I have a camera within arms reach moments.
Well I think that's it so far, not to much to report except eat, sleep, stare and poop.
We thank everyone for thier prayers and support.

Kim, thank you so much for posting this. It's so awesome reading your experiences when they are so new to you! Means we get to share in them vicariously.
Adorable picture!
Mom says: " You are both doing a great job. I would not have missed the birth of my grandaughter for anything. I am so proud of you."
Dad says: "I'm really going to enjoy being a grandpa!"
It's a new and wonderful experience for all of us.
