Hospital Days with Davey Loo.


Happy One Week Birthday Davey!
Hello Sweet Friends!

Thanks for being patient while we have gotten to walk through the tumultuous 'first week' of baby Davey's life. Wow, aren't we glad that God waits and actually gives you the gift of a baby before you have to actually try and learn how to take care of it! When you are up at 3am and your eyes are crossed, your milk hasn't come in and its day 5, your baby is screaming and you have a ginormous migrain, all the sudden the little pumkin gives you a little sideways Elvis grin and all is right as rain. :)

We had a wonderful few days in the hospital. I'm going to post some pics of visitors and such, and then hopefully get to the birth story in the next posting, now that Davey actually sleeps somewhat between each feeding. Huh - what a marvel.


The Proud Daddy - Look at her little eyes already looking up at him in awe. :)


Makes me teary. Those hands will always be there for her.

Gigi and Mel noticing she is already so much of a diva like her momma.

The family is growing! Davey - 2 hrs old. Sloan - 6 mos.

I think I'll always love this pic the most.

Uncle Doodle and Aunt Sophie

We are still deciding on a 'Grandmother Name' for mom.
Current front runners: Muffin & T-Party. Guess which one I love.


Auntie Jen - first non-family member hospital visitor!



And a first family pic. Nixon - Party of 3.

Getting ready to leave the hospital. All done up in her little girly perfectness.
Goodbye Room Nixon!

Mom and Callie on our way out. Never been wheeled in a wheelchair before. That was a first!
I just want to say the Baylor hospital is incredible. They are SUPER supportive of natural childbirth, and every single caregiver I had was not just kind, but over the top friendly, helpful, truthful and intelligent. I love that every time they did anything, they completely walk you through not only what they are doing, but what it should feel like. If anyone is considering natural childbirth in a hospital, come chat conmigo. I will give mucho glowing-o reports.

Next post: Birth story! Stay tuned.

Can't wait to meet her...if I could drive, I would have been there. Ben had to make an emergency trip to Indiana to be with his brother or we would try to come this weekend. I'm so sorry!
We can't wait to meet the little cutie pie!!
