LIA SMILED AT ME!!! and here's a picture to prove it...

This was a big week for us full of visitors... Lia met her cousins... Hannah, Sarah, Benjamin and Isaac AND Aunt Angela (not pictured) when they came to the house...


Nana and Papa B came back to visit and helped us out with a few projects the biggest of which was the landscaping in the front yard.
Look at the great job Brendon and his dad did!


Also, it was our first mother's day...

Bathtime

Lia got the ceremonial first bath with GMommy before she left to go back to Nashville....Thanks for coming and helping!






Also, we got our first glimpse of Terrin (Lia's cousin) who was born an hour after her. Isn't he adorable???

Coming home is always nice, but coming home from the hospital with Lia was the best! It was a busy first week of docotr's visits, jaundice problems (more info below) and not a lot of sleep. my mom stayed with us the first week and I can't imagine trying to navigate those first few days without her. Thanks G-mommy!

As for the jaundice.... Lia's levels were in the higher risk range when we left the hospital and kept climbing the first few days at home. Consequently, the doctor decided to put her on a bili-bed to help lower her levels until her liver got strong enough to do the job itself.

so, here are some pictures of her "Blue Bed"...pretty cool, huh?!?!?
