Alice is almost a week old. How exciting.
We just had a visit from a nurse (to our home) and she gave Alice and Jaime checkups, and everyone is doing well. Every doctor or nurse who has looked at Jaime's incision has commented on how nice it looks...so THANK YOU Dr. Yungerberg! Alice has gained some weight since being home, and is now up to 6 pounds, 2 1/2 ounces. (She was down to 5 pounds, 14 ounces before we left the hospital).
Our stay at Fairview Riverside was nice. We got to stay four and a half days. That was up to us, they said, and Jaime wanted/needed that extra day of rest and help. Thanks again for everyone who visited.
Sunday night was our first night at home with Alice, and things went pretty well. Up about every two to three hours for feedings, and i even got her to snuggle with me on the bed and fall alseep to give Mommy a break. Yesterday was HOT, and our two window AC units barely cut it. We were worried about Alice's temperature, so we had her down to just diapers for a period of time. But, like the trooper she is, she pulled through.
Today is a much more mild summer day, and we can really feel it in the house.
Last night was better than the first night. Alice has been a very good and content baby, with few yelling fits (and those have all been solved with rocking and feeding).

Thanks for the updates and the great pictures. We should be there by noon on the 18th if NWA flight attendants do not go out on strike. I really enjoy this site so keep up with the updates.
