Home at last...

Well, we finally all made it home yesterday.  It feels great to be getting settled in with Emma.  She is doing so great, and she is a really good baby thus far (all 4 days old).   She likes to smile alot.  We will try to get some pictures of her while she is smiling...it is just too cute not to share with everyone.  Emma is sleeping 2-3 hours at a time (most nights so far), so I feel as though I am actually getting more sleep than I was getting at the end of the pregnancy. 

I am doing well.  I was given a walker at the hospital, so I am now able to walk around the house (getting into the house yesterday was another story...but I made it in just fine).   I can't carry Emma anywhere, but I do get to cuddle plenty with her, so that makes me happy.  I am starting to get some more feeling and movement back in my legs, so the gradual improvement in my symptoms is great.  I am in good spirits, and am very positive that things will be back to normal in no time at all.  Thanks to everyone for keeping me in your thoughts.  

Ken is doing great.  He made it through the delivery in one piece and standing upright....I was very impressed.  He was a great support person during labor too.  He is a great dad, and is already making up songs that he sings for Emma...It's very impressive.   Hopefully Emma will get Ken's creative side.  He has been doing double time taking care of Emma and myself so Emma and I feel very lucky to have such a great dad and husband!

Ken will try posting some more pictures in the next day or too.   Thanks to everyone for all the calls and well wishes.  Ken and I feel very fortunate to have such great family and friends!
