All things sweet

Of course all of these pictures are in backwards order, but at this point I figure I'm lucky to have gotten any on. ha! We finally made it home Sunday afternoon and I think the whole family was more than thrilled to get out of the hospital. Before Shelby arrived, Peyton had expressed a want to have a birthday party for her when she got home from the hospital. We figured since we were bringing another human in his life it's the least we could do. Maw and Nana took him to buy party supplies on Saturday and I must say he planned the perfect party. We had Spiderman cake, a basketball pinata and Minnie Mouse balloons...what little girl could ask for more?! It was awesome. Shelby had gotten Peyton a present from her and so far it's rarely left his arm...I think he likes it. Our first night home proved to be fairly uneventful. Shelby has had issues with hiccups which makes her incredibly mad, but today we're thinking we got them worked out with her Dr. Brown's bottles. The hiccups made for a long night, but thankfully Peyton's sleep was not affected at all. By 1:30 am, Brad and I were throwing up the white flag and had Nana stay up with Shelby. We're hoping tonight the hiccups subside because we're fairly certain she will sleep for longer periods without them. If not...Maw will be pulling night duty. ha!! Tomorrow we take her in to be weighed again...when we left the hospital yesterday Shelby had only lost one ounce...she's a very good eater to say the least. The Dr. said they like to see them back at their birth weight by their 2 week visit..yeah I don't think we're going to have the problem. Enjoy the pictures and continue looking for more updates!!!

Getting ready to leave the hospital....thinking that sweater might be a little too big for awhile. ha!

She loves her groceries!


There are no words for this one...melting their Mommy's heart

She may have been in a milk coma


I love how proud he is and how disgusted she is...awesome.
