October 11th: We asked to be released the next day, so we could get home to our other kids. The nurse told us that we could, if her bilirubin levels were ok and she had all the newborn screenings done. The Nurse did the bilirubin test 3 times and it came back 8.5, 8 and 7.? We asked where it needed to be and she told us under 5. They sent her off to the nursery to get tested. After several hours, we still hadn't heard the news..so we took a nap and then around 4, Luke called the nurse in and they said her levels were fine, but we needed to follow up with the dr. on Monday.

Our welcome home!We are so lucky to have such great friends. Nancy came over early to take the kids, Pat took care of Mac for a few hours and then Tanya took over. On Thursday, she took Mac to and from school, got the kids AFTER school, brought them to the hospital, took our kids overnight and throughout the day on Friday. Then, THEN she cleaned our home, decorated it, made a HUGE dinner and the diaper cake and edible cake pictured below. Talk about a gem! Thank you!
