Emery update and some pictures...

We are home and adjusting wonderfully.  Emery is a GREAT baby, and I think we're pretty lucky!  I have lost some sleep (duh!), but not ANYTHING like I anticipated.  Sunday night (our first night home) she slept for 6 1/2 hours straight, and last night she slept 4 hours woke up and fed, and then slept 3 more hours.  Feeding was ROUGH (to say the least) at first, but we're both getting the hang of things, and its going great now.  When she was discharged she weighed 6 pounds 9 ounces, and today at her doctor's appointment she weighed 6 pounds 15 ounces, so she's just one ounce away from her birth weight.  Dr. Kunkle (her pediatrician and Brad's old pediatrician) was very pleased with her weight gain.  He said that babies are supposed to gain back 1 ounce a day, and she's averaging 2 1/2 ounces a day.  That's my girl :)  But enough talking, I know all you want are the pictures :) OHHHH...birth story is coming don't you worry girls!
