Wednesday was an exciting and somewhat stressful day as we waited to find out if baby Joshua would be able to be released from the hospital with his mommy. On Tuesday, he had been quite jaundiced and spent most of his time in the incubator with the biliruben lights, but by noon on Thursday, the doctor said his color was good and he could go home...yea!I had some supplies left from Championship Village I had brought from home, so when Lydia got up that morning, she made some "gifts" for her mommy and new baby brother...they probably don't look like much, but she sure enjoyed making them!
In order to keep Lydia occcupied, we have taken LOTS of walks...she loves to take (aka "pull") Bella on her leash. The neighborhood around my mom's condo is mostly older couples and they really enjoy seeing Lydia's smiling face!
Finally, around 4:00, Shannon called to say that they were on their way home from the hospital. I was just finishing up decorating the outside of their house when she called (Lydia had fun helping with the banner), so I headed home to get Lydia and her stuff. By the time we got there, Baby Joshua was asleep and her parents had time to devote to her. When I left soon after that, Lydia was happily eating berries off the vine in the backyard. I'm sure she's happy to have things return to normal...although there will be lots of adjustments as time goes on.
