Kids meeting their new baby sister and coming home from the hospital

Beej & Chris

 After we got up to the Post Partum floor I ordered some dinner while BJ grabbed some downstairs. After we finished eating BJ went with the C.N.A. to help with Kinslee's bath. Usually they let the husband participate in the bath, but the C.N.A just did it all and BJ took pictures. 



 BJ then crashed and even though I was exhausted I couldn't stop looking at our new baby girl! I snapped a few pictures and just enjoyed having her with us.





 Papa Bruce was amazing and had been watching our kiddo's. We asked him to bring them in the morning before school since they didn't get to meet her the night before.





 These pictures show how excited the kids were to see their baby sister.

 Love these!






 My mom met Bruce and the kids at the hospital so she could get some pictures of the kids meeting Kinslee.





 Later that day my dad stopped in to come meet Kinslee.
 It was nice to have him come and visit for a little bit.


 BJ then left just after dinner to go home and relieve his dad. He helped put the kids to bed and stayed at the house and got the kids to school the following morning before coming to pick up the baby and I to come home. That evening my brother Nate and his wife Kelsie came to visit.



The following day Tuesday morning/afternoon BJ took Ashlynn to City Creek with his dad while he came to the hospital to pick up the baby and I to go home.

Ashlynn was so cute and sang to her baby sister on the way home while holding her hand. That morning before we left to go home we got news from the hospital pediatrician that Kinslee's bilirubin level was a little elevated. The pediatrician ordered a bili light for Kinslee to use. We called and had the home health agency bring it later that day. We then used the bili light for two nights before meeting with our pediatrician after getting a follow up bilirubin test, where he apologized that the hospital pediatrician ordered the bili lights because he didn't feel like it was necessary and told us to have the home health agency come pick it up. We were very excited for this, because the bili light was very stressful and a lot more difficult than we had realized it would be. They ask you to have the baby lay on it without any blankets, and they are supposed to lay on it unless they were eating. Kinslee kept waking up because she would startle or because her little hands got cold. Needless to say the bili lights were not helpful in our transition home with the baby.
