We came home from the hospital on Thursday March 24th around 1. We gave Aili a tour of her new house and we were happy to be at home and not sitting in the uncomfortable hospital chairs anymore. Alicia was feeling great and Aili was feeding well and sleeping pretty good all that Thursday afternoon.....we were thrilled that she wasn't being fussy at all and were hoping the same would continue that night....well Aili had other plans.
Alicia fed her around midnight and we put her in the bassinet anticipating her to sleep for 2-3 hours and eat again....well she didn't like the bassinet and let us know it because she cried and fussed for the next 3 hours....Alicia fed her around 3am and we prayed she'd sleep....but no she wanted to make our first night at home a sleepless one..... She eventually went to sleep as the sun was coming up, I used to have those nights in my youth, and then she was great the whole next day sleeping and eating. We were hoping the previous night was merely a fluke and that she'd sleep better Friday night....NOPE!!! Same deal as Thursday...for whatever reason she didn't like the bassinet at all and wasn't falling asleep. Our friend Courtney, who you'll see later on in the blog, uses a Fisher Price rock'n'play and her little girl Cameron, the President of the Troublemakers Club, slept great in it. Saturday I went to Target and bought the last one they had and ever since then Aili's slept great.
Here is a picture of the life saveing rock'n'play. It swallows her up so hopefully she'll fit in it for a while.
The next big thing we did with Aili was her first bath at home. It wasn't her favorite thing at first but then she came around and enjoyed it, here's a few pictures of the experience:
Here we're de-robing the little thing, and you can see her face is pretty red and she's not happy.
OHHHHHHH the HUMANITY......!!!!!!!!
Not too bad.......
Ahh finally done and rockin' the stylish mohawk.
All babies have a little jaundice when they're born and Aili was no different. Her jaundice levels weren't abnormal but the doctors told us to put her in the sunlight which helps get rid of the yellow jaundice color in her skin. We laid her out in her bouncy chair and she didnt't mind it. I'm sure she'll love laying out when she's older but hopefully she'll have a top on and not be wearing a diaper...
SUNSHINE!!!!
Relaxed with her legs crossed and ready for Mike Tyson's punchout....
I'm pretty convinced the cats thought we were making them a baby's room and all the stuff we bought was for them.....well they were wrong but it didn't stop them from having Wrestlemania in the pack'n'play.
