Getting Out of the Hospital!

The week of Wilder's birth was a hectic one, with mom getting surgery for a hematoma and then getting a blood transfusion of 4 pints and Wilder in the Intensive Care Nursery for spitting up some grassy-green stuff (still not identified)! crazy...
But finally, after working with the GREAT doctors, nurses, and midwives at Pennsylvania Hospital, the whole family was able to come home late Saturday night.


This is Kate trying her hardest to smile in an exciting, scary, but mostly for her in this moment, painful, moment.
At home we were greeted by all of Wilder's grandparents and a turkey dinner with all the trimmings (and this ugly bow from Steve and Lauren, don't worry, they picked it off the street from the world's largest pinata site).
