So...

Did I say we waited until Mouse wasn't contagious anymore? Um. yeah. We thought that was the case.

Despite our best efforts, Meimei came down with RSV not 4 days after Mouse came back home (she was only 9 days old). Sigh. After a scary night and 8 days in the hospital....we're home again! Finally! And all is well. At her follow-up visit with our pediatrician yesterday, he said she was perfectly healthy and growing really well (from 6 lbs 11 oz at birth to 8 lbs 3 oz already!). (But he also said to keep her away from groups and crowds for another 5 weeks. Bummer.)

And after being separated as a family again for a week, I'm loving being home with my girls, and the transition to having two doesn't seem so hard (most of the time...). (Of course, I'm writing this right after spending the night up with a fussy, constipated baby. No, seriously, I was up from 2 to 6. No more chocolate for me for a while...)

Winnie the Pooh time at Grandma and Grandpa's...

Our lovely home for a week.
Sweet Meimei!
Time for a nap, I think. :)
