Homecoming

Good morning, afternoon or evening folks.
The following is a little update and anecdote.
Mother and daughter are now out of the hospital, relishing the comforts of our little home.
As an aside; though the primary mode of an hospital is not the aesthetic, they would do well to make the rooms feel a little more cozy and appealing. It's true that hospitals ,with their outdated and medical scented decor, are no match for the personality and warmth of your own home.

Dana Marie and Rebekah Marie are now home from the hospital, just two days after a cesarean. 
"Already?!" you ask. "Yes, isn't that great," I reply. 
Dr. Chan said that she was recovering fabulously, and since the nurses weren't necessarily doing all that much, he gave us the green light to leave. So, at approximately 5:13 p.m., we bid the hospital as fond a farewell as you can give a hospital, and took our daughter for her maiden voyage in the Venture (fitting name for a minivan in this regard).
So, it hasn't even been two full days since the monumental event and our little family of three seems to be getting along just swell already. Undoubtedly, we will be taking the baby for a visit to the doctor's in the very near future and to the hospital, to have a heart to heart with the lactation consultant, shortly after. 

Other than the seam in Dana's abdomen, it has been quite the seamless series of events, for which we remain very thankful. (I'm also thankful that she passed the hearing exam with flying colors because now I know she will be successfully indocrinated into the wonderful world of music). 
Anyway, the photos above are a collection of photographs taken on Easter Sunday.
What a great birthday: Easter weekend and the first day of spring!
