Welcome Home Cambria!
We have been expecting you!
It is all so new...once again!
I thought it was funny we still had up the Happy Birthday banner
from Andrew's birthday. How appropriate, for our newest
birthday celebration!
Ahhh, in my bed with my baby!
I definitely felt overwhelmed coming home. It is a funny thing to be
going in your life that feels so known and predictable and then in two
days, your world changes. I felt in a cocoon, safe and comfortable at the
hospital...all our needs were met, temperature was set (literally),
someone always filled my water bottle, and all I did was get up
and go to the bathroom, have meals brought to me, and hold my baby.
Going home, I felt overwhelmed by our house, tasks, caring
for our other two and integrating Cambria. I knew it would take
time. I wanted to remain in our home cocoon for a bit. It does
feel like a sacred time to say no to going out, to limit people time,
and just be cozy (in Maui-ha ha in the summer) at home.
Thank God for air conditioning. This was one of the hottest
summers Maui has seen. We were able to get solar and realized
our air conditioning worked. It was truly a God blessing to have
a baby in the solar air conditioning.
Does it get better???
Two girls!
Now we can use the sticker, we know its a girl!
Malia, Dev's good friend came to say hello.
Auntie Catherine and Uncle Lance (our Maui Ohana) came
to bless us with a yummy meal!
First sunset blesses our baby! The purple flower was from our
neighbor because pink and blue make purple and we didn't know
what we were having.
We brought our first baby Deveraux home to those green awning
apartments you can see from our lanai..10 years ago. Here we
are again, just up the hill and now with three.
Bobo had been a little unsure about holding baby Cambria, so it
was fun to see him initiate wanting to hold her. I think he thought
something was going to happen to her. Bobo had a little bit of a
hard time adjusting in the beginning but now he is "head over
heals" in love. He said he there was just a lot going on..me in the
hospital and not being home at night.
First night.
Bassinet sleeping has not occurred too much. So its
kinda funny to see her in there on the first night.
Good Morning!
I look back on our time at the hospital stay as very bonding, like
our night of fireworks on T.V., It was special and set apart...
After all, it is where we met.
She is a keeper!
