"gratulations"

kalia & maya

Last night at dinner, Kalia all of a sudden said, "gratulations" (congratulations). It was pretty funny. I guess she's been hearing that a lot lately and it just came out and since we all laughed, she just kept saying it.

Erik busted me out of the hospital on Saturday, although they wanted to keep me until sunday because of the staples. I will just go to the clinic on Wednesday to get them out. It was so nice to get home. It is simply impossible to sleep at the hospital. With Kalia we were able to get a private room, but this time they were very, very busy and we shared a room. Besides the fact that Maya and the baby boy next to us were on opposite schedules, they come in to take your vitals and a million other things all night that I felt like I pulled 3 all- nighters. The first night there was a lady down the hall that was having some major issues and I felt like I was in the room with them, the nurse was talking so loud. At one point the nurse told her, "no, you cannot have any morphine to drink."

I think Kalia really was missing us too. She was very happy to have everyone home. She has officially become Daddy's girl. She knows that I can't do very much right now and daddy has been doing everything for her, so she calls for him for everything and even told me "no, I want Daddy"! I thought I wanted her to daddy's girl and I know erik is thrilled, but it makes me sad...trying to be a big girl about it.

Kalia has been very good with Maya. She called us earlier because she saw that she had spit up. She also always gently pats her head and gives her a little kiss when she passes by.
