Home

We were released from the hospital yesterday and it is so nice to be home and sleep in my own bed. Ashley is healthy and so far a good baby. She is by far the best eater of the three and she 's a little piggy. Last night she slept for 6 hours straight.
The boys have been so excited to have her (and mommy) home. They had a hard time settling down last night for bed. Mathias has been so cute and attentive to his sister. Last night after dinner as he was clearing his place, Mathias came over to me and said, "Mom, if you need anything, just let me know." Nickolas came running in my room this morning when he heard Ashley cry and he was so excited to see the baby. Later, Mathias came in and just stared at Ashley in her bassinet for about 10 minutes. Then he told me, "If Actually needs anything, just call me." Mathias has stepped into big brother mode (for now) and he is being a big helper and doing more things independently.
Last night on our way home from the hospital we stopped at Walmart to get a prescription filled and pick up some other things. In my haste to get to the hospital on Friday morning I only packed a pair of jammies and wore slippers there. I didn't think about having Brian bringing me some clothes or shoes to come home either, so I was wearing PJs and slippers at Walmart. When we got home, Mathias said to me, "Mom, people were laughing at you at Walmart." I asked him, "Why?" and he said, "Because you were in your jammies and slippers!"
