My little froggy baby is too cute! She doesn't do much besides eat, sleep, and poop, but I can't stand how cute she is. I haven't been getting much done these days because I always choose spending time with her over accomplishing the things I need to do. You may notice that she is wearing these pajamas in several of her pictures, but I think they are so cute that I like to put her in them as often as possible. Also, when wearing them she likes to poop all over them, so they get washed frequently.
She is always opening up one of her eyes. Kelly is convinced that she is just checking to make sure we are still holding her and paying attention. I am finally understanding why every mother thinks her child is so cute. I think being a mom is the best thing in the world and I am so glad that we have Shelby in our family. It is so great to have her home and have her healthy!
One benefit of having Shelby born around Christmas time was being visited by Santa in the nursery! (Melanie is planning on posting some pictures of Santa and Shelby soon) Another benefit of having Shelby in the NICU was that all Melanie and I had to do was show up and hold her and feed her. The nurses did the rest, so we were a little spoiled, and unprepared for saturday night.
We were able to bring little Shelby home from the hospital on saturday night, the 26th of December, after she decided it was time to eat on her own. I personally think she heard the nurses mention feeding tube and she thought her nice little bed in the NICU wasn't so nice after all. 
Our first night at home was anything but dull, I think Shelby was having second thoughts about coming home with just the two of us. I personally think she saw how I changed her diaper and swaddled her and she knew I was doing it wrong. She just wanted to go back to where the nurses knew how to do everything just right. Anyway, we made it through a long night and once it was over, I realized Shelby is a lot cuter in the morning.
