Aria's First Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving!  We were excited to go home today.  The nurse told us they would check Aria at the 24 hour mark and then we would be able to go after that.  I was super tired from not being able to sleep the night before and from the nurses coming in every hour.

I was so excited to put Aria in her Thanksgiving outfit!

Quentin left for a bit to go get Starbucks and the birth certificate person came.  I was tempted to change Aria's middle name to May instead of Kenobi, but I didn't!  I had teased Quentin I was going to do that, so it was funny that he was gone when they came.  Shortly after he came back the photographer came to take Aria's hospital pictures.  They were so awesome, we had to buy the CD!  I was disappointed when the photographer said it would be mailed in 5-7 business days.  I figured in the year 2015, they could just burn the CD and hand it over.

I took a picture over the photographer's shoulder with my cell, then I made this little card to text to Antonio.

This is how Quentin looked when faced with changing a diaper.

I went in to take one bath in the jetted tub while Quentin packed our stuff so we could leave.  When I came out of the bathroom, Quentin gave me the bad news.  Aria's bilirubin levels were too high which causes jaundice.  She would need her blood checked again the next day.  After discussing with Quentin's sister-in-law and the nurse, we decided to stay the night again.  There was an ice storm coming and we were worried about the roads.  They also said that if we brought her in for tests the next day and her bilirubin was still high, she would be admitted to the hospital nursery.  If we stayed, we would all just stay in our birthing suite.  No Thanksgiving meal for us.  Oh wait, the hospital did bring this wannabe Thanksgiving meal in for lunch.

Luckily, my parents saved the day and brought us some Thanksgiving leftovers!

It really cracks my dad up that her middle name is Kenobi.  Him and Antonio brought this Obi Wan Kenobi toy before Aria was born.

Soon Tony and Lindsey came up with even more Thanksgiving leftovers!

Although, I don't sleep well in the hospital, I had a good view.

We went to bed praying that Aria's blood wouldn't test high for bilirubin in the morning.
