Coming Home!

She is so tiny in her car seat!



Thursday was our last day at the hospital! I'm not going to lie...I was so sad to leave! I had the most wonderful nurses who took such great care of Scarlett and me. They were so kind and so helpful. I would have stayed two weeks if I could have! I loved being "pampered" and having someone to help me 24 hours a day. It was scary going home and realizing the reality of it all. I was wondering if I was really prepared for all of it and if I could really do it all! But...we didn't have a choice so we went home...

She is such a precious little angel. All her hair is absolutely beautiful! I can't believe you had her right after we left St. George...I am so sad we couldn't be there to see her! What a beautiful new gift! This is the first time I have said this since having stockton, but seeing her kind of made me baby hungry! Am I ready for another????Who knows! Congratulations to you and Mike on a special baby girl!

She is so cute! We are so excited for you guys, Nate was standing over my shoulder while I was reading this and laughed about mike almost passing out.
Scarlett's hair is so cute and so LONG! I hope we get to see her sometime..........let us know when you are coming up!
hope mom and baby are doing well recovering (I personally thought the recovery was WAY worse than the labor!) :)

Congratulations!!! She is so cute with so much hair. You are lucky to get a girl with lots of hair, now your 365 bows will not go unused. She is beautiful and Mike's big hands make her look so tiny.

Wow! Congrats Kristi & Mike! I was holding my breath during your story about the labor - you almost made me pass out and have to lie down too! (Blood and needles and hospitals are not my thing :)What an amazing feat you've accomplished! Welcome Scarlett!
