It was a good 1st day. The Duchess Helena could teach a nursing class, which is quite different from my first two and is such a blessing. She's an eater to be sure. She is done with labs and passed her hearing screening. Her little right foot was jammed outward in utero, and still looks that way some what today. The ped who was on rounds said he believes it will be fine and won't require anything to be done to correct it.
We spent the day together as a family of 5 watching movies, eating lots of junk food, and taking naps. Alexander fell in love at first sight, but my sweet Sophie is not so sure. When her baby sister cries, Sophie buries her head and cries along with her.
As they were only able to get one round of two antibiotics in me before her birth for the Group B Strep, they want us to hang out nearly the whole 48 hours to observe her. This means we'll be going home tomorrow night at bedtime.
Here are a few of my favorite shots from the day.

What a great looking family of 5 :) So glad to hear all is well, even if you have to hang out a little longer than probably wanted at the hospital. Congratulations again!
Great pics. Sophie suddenly looks so grown up! And you look just smashing, my friend. I'm way jealous of your bounce back ability!
Beautiful family...it is amazing how much to me that Xander and Soph looked alike and how different Helena looks! Feel well...good luck to you and your big 'ol family in the weeks to come!
