Welcome Home Baby Elise!

Finally Friday and it was finally time to say goodbye to Chandler Regional Hospital. Originally Betty and Baby Elise were supposed to come home on Thursday afternoon, but ended up staying an extra night due to Betty's fever. A few fun facts: this is our third delivery at Chandler Regional Hospital, Betty's third C-section, third child weighing over 7 lbs 6 oz, third child with lots of hair, etc... but first baby daughter. To prepare for the departure, I was given the priviledge to dress Baby Elise. I put on her new pink outfit, bundled her in the infant carrier warmly, got the minivan and took the girls home. The original surprise welcome set for Thursday night still stood with a Welcome Home cake, lots of balloons and a handmade banner from her 2 Goh Gohs... Since Baby Elise's name was not finalized until Thursday and I had already purchased the cake, the name on the cake was misspelled... Ooops... Furture reference... Elise (L-lease)!
