Christmas outfit #1

Still too big!

December 20th - 25th, 2008 - Dan, Rory and I stayed in Walnut Creek for Christmas. Although we missed being around family we were blessed that we were able to spend quality time together as a new family. We took Rory to meet Santa Clause at the club and brought home a real christmas tree. I had already had a christmas stocking personalized for Rory with the hopes of using it next year but was lucky enough to hang it on the fireplace this year.

First Bath and boy does she hate it!!!

It only got worse from here...

December 13th, 2008 - Rory gets her first bath at home!! I don't know who hated it more mommy or Rory. By far it has been the hardest thing to do and clearly Rory is not much liking it either. We will come to find out that over the next few months that Rory is just not a fan of the whole bathing process. Boy are we in for a smelly future with her!!!

Finally Home

December 8th, 2008 - Rory is finally home and swaddled tightly in her blanket. We are so happy to have her home where we can finally be with her. Underneath the blanket is her biliblanket for her jaundice. We had a hospital nurse visiting everyday for the next four days drawing blood from her little foot to make sure that she was getting better. We were lucking when we finally got the ok that she was able to leave the house by the end of the week.
