An evening walk

Little Olivia nestled snugly in a kangaroo pouch ready to go for a little walk. This is the first time Suzanne or Olivia had left the house since we'd gotten back from the hospital. We made it a short walk, to make sure we didn't get Olivia cold at all. I don't think it was a problem. We made sure not to wear hats or anything ourselves, so that if we got cold at all we'd konw it was too cold for her. She seemed to like it, and showed her appreciation for the motion of walking by passing out. Or maybe it was the "milk coma" from having been fed shortly before we went out...

Anyway, our second day home. And our second night! We're still working out our system to do things efficiently, but we seem to be doing the right thing for Olivia; the Community Neunatal Nurse visited us today and weighed her, checked her feeding and answered our questions- she is now up to 4 pounds 10 ounces! So she's gaining as fast as they could possibly expect. The nurse actually said "whatever you're doing, keep doing it because you've got it right!". So that was great to hear. Our friends Tina and Steve will come back from Devon tomorrow or the next day, and have been planning to stay with us; we'll see if they mind hearing us get up every 3 hours and potter around for an hour... And in other news, Olivia's first cousin twice removed will be visiting us from France early next week, the first in a parade of family visitors who we're excited to have. Nice to be home!
