vivi, our hospital stay.

can i just say this? i LOVE the hospital. L-O-V-E. love.  alone time with my new little love, someone to check on us both and bring me tylenol and ice packs and mediocre food. it's heaven. minus the bed. the bed is terrible. i just loved getting to finally RELAX and enjoy my sweet vivi. did i mention that the weeks leading up to her birth were among the most stressful, overwhelming weeks of my life? did i mention we moved on a thursday, had no heat and no power, we all got the stomach flu (with no laundry options), and i had to be induced for medical reasons on saturday that same week? oh yes.  it was absolute insanity, but it was all worth it to be snuggling my girl and that hospital room felt like a five star hotel.  we had a few visitors which i loved, but viv and i had a lot of time one on one in the hospital because danny and our moms were scrambling to get as much ready in our new house as possible before we came home! it got a little lonely at times, but you can't really complain when this girl is your roommate. isn't she a beauty? 

she has a crooked toe! we call it scoliosis of the toe. or her scuba toe. because i may or may not have been scuba diving when she was just a wee little jellybean in my belly. obviously i didn't know i was pregnant at the time. ;)

these are the only photos we took of viv and i in the hospital. woops! luckily i look super glamorous. uhhh.... yikes.  

getting ready to come home... i chose her sweet little outfit not knowing if she would be a boy or a girl, i just love my babies dressed in white! 

psst! word from heather is my birth photos are almost ready. i'm DYING to see them and share vivi's birth story with you! i tell you what, i don't understand why anyone woiuldn't have their birth photographed. seeing these images for the first time is going to be like christmas!
