Suntan Baby, Vistors

Well folks, tomorrow (fingers crossed) appears to be the day of going home. Baby Gwen has been under the "grow lights" , aka UV lights, for jaundice treatment since o'dark thirty yesterday morning between routine feedings. Although leaving promptly with our little child was very appealing, something told us that her coloration resembling autumn leaves would gain quite a bit of attention from concerned onlookers. Gwennie is the perfect picture of health overall, so spending a little time under the lights and starting her tanning career a little early (we hope this is the only tanning bed she ever decides to see) is no biggie. We parental units took the opportunity to to snap some cute pics of the daughter wearing her shades in the "box." It must be confessed though that Eric had been all packed and ready to leave that morning - so sly comments were made about whether or not the equipment for her treatment could be snuck out the back door and loaded into the pickup!

Anne was offically given guest status today and discharged from hospital treatment, meaning two things: 1) She is no longer walking like a 80 year old man 2) She received the opportunity to duck out of the hospital for some fresh air (and coffee from the favorite cafe) This was the first day she was able to wear her own clothes, be free of the possiblity of any more needles chasing her and stand up straight (the sitting down part is still a little creative).





We also got visitors like crazy! Yesterday, Anne's mom, aunt and uncle all made it from Idaho and Washington, respectively. Still working on what she would like to be called as a grandparent, Sal was very eager and happy to take Gwennie at any and all opportunities given, as evidenced in the pictures. We think she will do just fine at spoiling the wee one - since she and Aunt Cin have already shown signs of shopaholics in the baby departments. It is believed that Macy's and JCPenney's stock will go up, up, up...... :) We also had several other members of our "Jordan family" drop in - although many were sly enough to avoid camera evidence.
