Turns out, when you're not actually sick, being in the hospital is pretty darn boring.

But that gave us plenty of time to sleep, watch crappy TV (
Law and Order, Golden Girls), and of course, take lots of pictures of our beautiful Claire.


She has something the nurses called "newborn rash," which I think I may have had as a newborn myself (it's the red spots around her eyes and cheeks—she also has it all over the rest of her body). It already seems to be going away.

And, because I was doing so well, they gave me the option of going home a day early (Saturday morning). I happily took it—I couldn't wait to get the whole family under one roof!

Here's Claire all set for the trip home, wearing my "something old" wedding handkerchief sewn into a baby bonnet,
just like Elsa did. They can unsew it and carry it as their "something old" someday.

We drove home in a huge downpour—the first big thunderstorm of the season. When we got there, Claire settled in just like she owned the place. : )
