getting ready to leave the hospital!

we were finally ready to leave the hospital sunday afternoon. after having to get the car jumped because of a dead battery (long story) we were ready to go. the first thing we did to prepare was to put kepler in the cutest outfit ever! jane got her this bear outfit for her baby shower and it is painfully cute. alas, kepler wasn't too happy about it but what does that matter?

kepler's first football game



just before leaving the hospital, kepler and i decided to watch a little of the playoffs. i think she enjoyed it. well, to be honest, she slept the whole time.

flowers







and many of those people that visited brought flowers! even some people who couldn't be there sent them (mom and jane + darko). it was so lovely to have a window full of beautiful flowers!

lots and lots of friends













we had many wonderful guests show up to meet kepler...even more than are pictured here. the nurse actually got a bit upset with us at one point as charmaine was exhausted and we had a room full of people...

we're back!


well, i realize that it's been a while since posting. it's been a very full week. we were in hospital for a total of four nights / five days. we were allowed to come home sunday the 14th (the same day that mom arrived from atlanta).

charmaine is doing wonderfully! she's up and walking and feeling much better. she's already wearing "normal" clothing and looking about two months pregnant.

kepler is doing equally well! we went to her first doctor appointment yesterday and she checked out beautifully! she's gaining weight, sleeping well (she slept for five hours last night!?) and just generally being the cutest thing ever (as the pictures will prove). she does seem to have the hiccups more often than not and has an amazing ability to make her diapers dirty only minutes after getting a new diaper put on...

it's wonderful having momma here. she gets to hang out with kepler and us while helping out with all of the various things that have to get done all of the time.

i'll post lots and lots of pictures today to make up for the week that we've been absent. post comments as much as possible! we want kepler to be able to read this in a few years and realize how surrounded she is/was with people that love her!
