Maelin did surprise us all with her size. Throughout my pregnancy the doctors kept telling me I was measuring small and most likely would have a small baby. I was even told at one appointment to buy preemie clothes for her first few days. Well as it turns out, her ten day late arrival really paid off and she gained lots of extra weight. Never did I imagine we would have an 8 lb 5 oz baby, she even shocked the docs with her size. Needless to say we were not prepared with a going home outfit but jammed her into something for the quick drive home. Time to now go shopping :)
It was great to bring her home and start to get to know her better. So far Begley doesn't understand who or what she is and just looks at her and then walks away, which is fine for now.
Below are some pictures from the hospital and also from her first days home. We love her so much and cannot wait to see how she grows and changes!
