The First Few Days as a Family of Four

Adelyn was born on Monday, March 21 and the three of us were in the hospital until Thursday, March 24 (a day sooner than planned!). 

Jared and I had such a great hospital experience.  Nurses truly must be angels straight from the Lord!  With shift changes, we had 6 nurses every day - one for me, a nurse's tech for me, and a nurse for Adelyn. And we had some of the most caring, loving women taking care of us!  Each one was just such a blessing!  Jared and I kept joking that we felt a little bit like we were on vacation.

Here are some pictures during our hospital stay.

"Look at her toes"
Lovey, Aunt B, Brynn, and Bridger were at our house shortly after we got home to welcome us and meet Miss A
Davis just had to have his sister sit in his chair with him

"Daddy, she has eyes!"
All of our family had to leave on Monday before Adelyn was released from the nusery.  So, Gigi and Paw Paw came on Thursday evening to get their hands on Adelyn!
Wide awake! 
Thanks Shelly for letting us borrow Hannah's bouncy seat!  Adelyn is a big fan!

We have had a wonderful first few days as Green Party of Four!
