Homecoming

One-day-old Katarina (~38 hours)

Daddy spent the first night in the hospital with us. On Wednesday morning, he and Lolo took Bella to gymnastics class.

That night, Daddy brought the two big sisters up to the hospital to eat dinner and then took them home and stayed with them at the house. Mommy and Katarina had to spend a second night in the hospital because Katya was Coombs positive and needed to have her bilirubin monitored longer.

All of Katarina's follow-up labs were acceptable, so Mommy and baby went home at lunchtime on Thursday. On the birth certificate form, we were instructed to write our home address in the "hospital" field for Place of Birth, and Michael is officially listed as the "attendant at birth!"

Once at home, Katya was not short of adoring family members.
