Laura is sleeping a lot these days, fighting off a mild jaundice. She's eating pretty well which should keep the jaundice under control

Homecoming!

We arrived home today!


We were dischared at about 1:30 today a short 36 hours after delivery. Armed with plenty of paperwork and a sturdy car seat, we drove home. Emily rode in the back watching Laura enjoy the bouncy car ride home.


Before we were discharged, Auntie Katy and Ben came over to say hi. Laura put on her sparkling best behavior and charmed both of them.

Momma in the rocking chair. Ahhh, the good life.

I'm a li'l Tiger!

Uncle Benjamin and Auntie Katy

Laura's first swim, well not quite swimming,but she likes it nonetheless.

Driving home! Well, in the car at least.

Auntie Katy!

Grandma Jeanne Visits

Grandma Jeanne came by to visit 'Lady Laura'! She came bearing many cute pink girl's outfits and some nice flowers to dress up the hospital room.

Ms. Laura was quite content to relax in grandma's arms and get soothed away by grandma.

Pictures!

Welcome Laura Jean Gillespie

After 13 hours of labor, our daughter Laura Jean Gillespie came into the world a healthy 10 lbs, 1 oz and 22 inches long at 7:58 pm on December 13th, 2006.

Mom and baby are doing well, but both are very tired. Laura's first visitors were Grandpa and Grandma Baechler, who enjoyed meeting the lil chubby cheeked girl for the first time.
