Blog Facelift

Well, thanks to seeing many other people's blogs and being ashamed of how lame mine was, I decided to give the website a facelift. So, I hope everyone enjoys the new look.

Also, here is proof that little Blake does actually get dressed in cute, pink outfits. Even though Lauren isn't a big fan of the pink, Blake sure does look cute in it.

And, here is another picture of Blake and her daddy. She sure likes to cuddle with him, and he doesn't seem to mind much either. It is amazing how tiny she is in comparison!

The Nursery

Uncle Chris and Grandma did a great job setting up the nursery while they were here. Thank goodness! It was such a wonderful help to have everything set up when we got home from the hospital. Most of the furniture/decorations were generous baby shower gifts...THANK YOU!!!

Blake Marie - 1 Wk. & 1 Day Old

Here are some much better pictures of our little Blake. She is just so darn cute! We are finally settling down into our own routine here at home, and Lauren will have a couple more weeks off of work to spend with our little girl. Bob returns to work on Monday, but he will probably get more sleep in a hotel room than he has been getting at home. So, the return might have a few perks...although he definitely enjoys spending time with Blake regardless of the amount of sleep he gets.

Home At Last!!!

Blake finished up her phototherapy sessions today at 8 a.m. We had to stick around the hospital until around 2 p.m. to make sure her bili levels weren't going to sky-rocket again. Little Blake is enjoying her new swaddling blanket that Grandma got for her, and she seems to be quite content to finally spend some time at home.

Discharged...and back to the hospital

We were discharged from the hospital on the 7th. But we had to go in on the 8th for another bilirubin test. Little Blake's bili level was too high, so we were admitted to the pediatrics unit at the hospital for more phototherapy. Daddy found the time between phototherapy sessions to comfort Blake.

Still in Recovery

Grandma and Blake were able to spend some quality time together while we were in the hospital.

Little Blake is just so precious!!!

Blake's First Day in the Hospital

Grandpa DeCoteau, Great-Grandma DeCoteau, and Joyce came up to the hospital to meet Baby Blake.

Grandma and Uncle Chris were also able to catch a flight up to Billings to visit on the 6th. Blake was a little jaundice, so she was given some phototherapy while we were in recovery.
