Hospital Stay

We were so lucky with Connie that neither of us had any complications. That allowed us to have a very short hospital stay. The nurses and doctors there were all wonderful but I was anxious to get home to Dougie and ready to start our life with our new little girl.

We did have a few visitors during our stay though. Dougie and Grandma came the day after Connie was born to say hi.

Dougie was instantly enthralled with Connie. He asked to hold her almost immediately.

When he finally got a chance to get close, he wasn't as sure.

He had to poke her to be sure she was real.

Then he gently touched her

He was pretty excited by this new addition

Most of the rest of the time we were on our own. Connie, as most newborns do, slept a lot which gave us a chance to recover from several days without enough sleep.

She certainly had some alert moments though.
