Yes, can any of you believe it Ruby came home last Monday November 23, 2009. They said it would probably be until her due date and she pretty much did. We went to the hospital surprised to take her home, I cried, of course. So Curtis and I were so excited as soon as we got her home we introduced her Bruiser, our dog, then showed her the wonderful room that we put together for her. Ruby was the most awake we have ever seen her. Curtis's parents surprised us at the hospital, while mine were on their way to spend the week with us for Thanksgiving. We were very excited to share Ruby coming home with our family. Our first night was rough, I think mostly for me, I didn't sleep at all. Every noise she made I was over checking on her, not to mention the every 4 hour feedings. I would like to say that she would be a great night sleeper if we didn't have to wake her up and feed her. Then we spent the next couple of days with my family. We went to the doctor on Wednesday and he said she is doing great! Good Job Ruby! Finally Thanksgiving Day had arrived, and we bathed her for the first time at home, she did pretty good. Got her all ready for the day and went over to Patti's. My Aunt Melissa held her, she was the center of the party! Every one thought she was great. She got to meet her Great Grandpa Bob (G-Bob). Dinner was really good, then Ruby and Daddy went back home for some Daddy daughter time, while i went to the movies with Tyler, Rae, Logan and my Mom. We saw Old Dogs, really funny by the way. Ruby's first Thanksgiving and she loved it I'm sure lol. Then Friday my parents went back home, and the Steed family came over to see her. Katelyn finally got to meet her and hold her. So did Grandma Garfield, and Holly for the first time. Church was and interesting experience. I got her ready we all looked great, and as soon as we got to church it was time to feed her, so I went out and fed her missing Relief Society. When I came back it was just in time for the prayer for Sunday School and during the prayer Ruby decided to do this gagging cough and then burp really loud!!! After the prayer was over everyone turned around and was laughing, so I told them "excuse us". She slept during the rest of that class and when we got to Sacrament I started to feel funny. So I checked my blood sugar and my level was low, we stayed to take the sacrament and then came home so I could take care of myself. It was an interesting day. Uncle Ron and Aunt Nicole came over to hold Ruby as well for the first time. It was nice to visit with them. I just want to say that we are very thankful for our beautiful baby girl! Also for the wonderful family that came to see her and is always there for us. We love all of you, I hope that you enjoy all the pictures of her first week.
