Home At Last

Erin's c-section kept us in the hospital for the mandatory 4 night stay, so our family has been split up since Saturday. Grandpa and Grandma Miltenberger watched Madeleine Saturday and Sunday nights while Butch and D tried to keep up Monday and Tuesday. But it sounds like everyone had a great time and rumor has it Butch actually made it home from work the last 2 nights by 5:30!

Meanwhile, Gracie has been sleeping in beds, getting bathed, eating who-knows-what, and being spoiled rotten by kids at Bart and Tanya's. I'll be picking her up this weekend. Or maybe not.

Everyone was supposed to arrive home earlier today, but Hadley's temp dropped a little this morning so our departure was delayed. An hour under a warmer and she was back to normal, if not a little overheated. We hung out at the hospital until 5:00 for a few more temp checks just to be safe, then found a wired Madeleine waiting for us at my folks on our way home.

Unsure on what to think at first, Madeleine seems to be warming up to her little sister and can already say 'Hadley' pretty well. Of course, "Hadley's" gift of a baby stroller (strikingly similar to the one Bart and Tanya gave her for her birthday and hidden until now) didn't seem to hurt.
