Sam's had a good first day at home;
she slept through the night last night,
and didn't wake up until nearly 11:00 this morning!

I spent the morning catching up on nearly 3 weeks of housework,
but it sure beats being at the hospital.

It was so nice to peek in her crib and see Sam curled up on her side,
snoozing away. She's enjoying lots of new toys,
and she's been sipping juice, and even had a bowl of Honeycombs.
We are still going to supplement her diet w/her formula,
and have her "on the tube" overnight,
but let her eat and drink whatever she will during the day.

I was pleasantly surprised that she was willing & able to eat by mouth
her first day home; the drooling has stopped, so that could be a factor --
I noticed that it had nearly stopped her last day at Children's.

She's more and more herself each day.
I think she's just resting up for all the great things she has planned for '06!

Thanks,

Jessica
