Bringing Baby Home

Our last night in the hospital was spent trying to get the hearing screen completed. Gianna loves her mommy and didn't want to be away from her even for a moment. She would be completely asleep, but as soon as they took her out of the room she would start to fuss. We had to do the hearing test with her sleeping on my chest. They couldn't get the test to work so we had to wait for another nurse to come try. Even with all that work one ear still didn't pass that night. They left the little cups on her ears between tests. I thought she looked a bit like Princess Leia.
Here she is waiting for Dad to come pick us up. We had an entourage to escort us home. Dad, all her brothers, and Uncle John came and watched cartoons. Then about a half hour later Grandpa and Grandma Bestgen, Aunt Kaylene and Uncle Loman stopped by.
Here we are just before we left the hospital. She wasn't pleased with us. I think she wanted to sleep some more in the quiet hospital. After we left the hospital, all of us went out to eat to celebrate Gianna's arrival. Then home for a relaxing afternoon.
