The Pictures!!!

First....the promised pictures from our "Pre-Mia" days...Keep in mind both of these are less than five hours before Mia was born!
Mia came home today - she's doing awesome! Ella is absolutely in love with her. She burst into the hospital room yesterday and cried "Baby Mia!!!" L spent the morning with us both yesterday and today and she was super good. She doted on Mia and even picked a special blanket to bring her today. I am at once glad to be home and missing the nurses! :) Our stay in the hospital was great. The nursing staff was awesome - I sent Chris home and Mia to the nursery again last night and slept. It was great. I can't say enough about the staff...many thanks to everyone at Birthways at Mary Greeley Medical Center in Ames.

About the pictures...Everything was happening so fast we didn't bring our bags into the hospital until well after Mia was born.

This is the picture I took at about 4 am. Friday morning - Miss Mia is just a little over five hours old. I was too wired to sleep....clearly the event was a bit more draining on her!

Spending some time with dad...

Papa was the first to arrive Friday morning....he got up at 4:45 am to leave Lincoln!

Meeting Nana

Grandpa and Granny made it before Mia was a full day old!

Ella couldn't WAIT to hold her!

The first picture of our newly assembled family of four!
We tried to let Mia have some time alone while we ate dinner, but L climbed down from the dinner table and into the crib! How freaking cute.
