We're home - but what day is it?

Evelyn was finally released from the hospital in Indianapolis on Friday the 7th around 5 pm. We had been warned of a snow storm hitting Louisville starting Friday night with predictions of up to 14 inches. We decided that we'd rather just go for it rather than get snowed out of Louisville for a couple of days (since 95% of the baby's stuff was there). So, I loaded up all our stuff (including the dogs) beforehand and we set out straight from the hospital. The weather predictions were correct for once and it took us nearly 5 hours to travel the 125 miles - not getting us home until around 10! In the 48 hours previous we had about 5 hours of sleep so we literally crashed when we made it. Evelyn didn't even know what was happening and slept the whole way - meaning she was up several times during the night. We've just gotten ourselves somewhat together but have a lot of adjustments to make for the lack of sleep. For all you parents, we can now relate to the euphoria you feel when you get more than an hour of consecutive sleep. We think it might be Monday now.....

A few pictures of our beautiful baby if for nothing more than bragging!

Momma's baby.

It's all very serious you know.

I'm bored, let's eat. Open wide!

See you later.
