Yep! She checked out fine and they let us go! Can you believe they just let you walk out of a hospital with these little ones :) Last night was pretty good...she still has her days and nights mixed up but I'm sure she'll get it figured out...and it's worth it...well...at least that's what I kept telling myself last night :) Nothing too new with us though...she's doing really well and she's already a strong little thing...holding her head up to look around a little. But I'll quit boring you now and just give you some pictures...because...you asked for it :)
Okay...I know this is a hospital picture but I had to include it because it proves that she does have eyes...and she does open them sometimes...and it usually is at night :) Plus...this picture is way too cute :)
Getting a little sun rays at home...looks like we got a bathing beauty on our hands :)
Jon's already got her reading all the finest material out there...or in his opinion...he's starting her out young...he doesn't realize that she's going to be a girlie girl :)
I think the hat says it all!

So excited to hear you are home! Praying for a good transition for all three of you. Thanks for the pictures.
Oh Ali she is adorable. I am so happy for you guys. I wish I could come over and visit with you, Jon and your new baby.
Thank you, thank you, thank you for posting more pictures!!! I have been checking often (and a little obsessively) to see them!! She is amazing!!! Keep them coming!!

I love the cheeks! Just makes me want to nibble them! What a precious blessing you have been given. Enjoy, enjoy, enjoy!!
Great news!
I do remember those firsts: buckling into the car seat and the scariest drive you've ever had (until they're 15 with a learners' permit).
The best advice now is "Sleep when the baby is sleeping" You'll probably want to rush around and get a bunch of things done but maybe you'll be better than me at learning to let go of some of those less important things and focus on your (and therefore Natalee's) well being.
Ali, I forgot to sign that comment--you probably could have guessed but you have such a large following-Carrie
adorable!!!!! I'm so so happy for you three!!!! Love you!
She is beautiful! So happy for you all!
She's beautiful, Ali!!! Congrats :)

Absolutely precious!! Congratultions! A tip to help her learn her days from nights: wake her for feedings every three hours during the day. My youngest had the same problem and my nurse suggested this and it worked within a couple of days!
What a doll baby!! Love love love the pictures! :) Thanks so much for sharing. Everyone's giving you lots of great advice so far. I also would recommend reading "Baby Wise" if you haven't already. It's a big help with getting babies on a schedule right from the beginning. Have a "restful" week!! :)

Congratulations Ali and Jon! She is beautiful! Something about her actually reminds me of a picture I had seen of Emmalee. Glad you guys are all home together and that things are going well. Is everything finalized now or should I continue to pray?
Danyelle
Again congrats!! Thanks for the pics especially with the eyes:) Still praying all things are final asap!
Congratulations Ali!! She's adorable and we're all so happy for you! As others have said- sleep when she sleeps and enjoy. Thanks for sharing the pictures~ Jodi
Madeline had her days & nights mixed up, too, when she was that age. It was rough to say the least! We tried so hard to keep her awake during the day by stripping clothes off and playing with her but it really didn't work. It's pretty much up to the babe to decide when she wants to wake up!
Soooo cute!! I am so very excited for you guys!!!!

So happy for you congrats!!!!!
She is gorgeous! Congratulations. I hope everything is going well.
Hi Ali, John and Natalee~
Congratulations to all three of you for finding each other! Your mobile has changed and will jangle around a bit for a while, but soon enough you will find synchronicity and ease maybe, too. Be patient. And, find gratitude; it will save your sanity a million times.
Love.

Absolute sweetness!!! I love her cheeks. :) Great pictures, and can't wait to see more.

oh my goodness...she's beautiful! i'm so happy for you guys...babies are such amazing blessings.
just remember when the hard days come (and they will...people don't normally talk about the hard days with infants) that they will pass. :)

She is beautiful.
She is lovely! I'm so happy for you. How is the birth mother? I hope she is well too. What an amazing gift she has given. Blessings to you all.
