my mom flew in on oct 2, for 7 days. it was great having her around to help us out and give us all the tips and tricks she's learned from taking care of tyler & carson the last 2 years! she made lots of great blankets, and even a big kitty quilt for haley, which have really come in handy. grandma taught me how to swaddle haley real tight and how to best change diapers to ensure nothing leaks out! haley loved spending time with her too! mom stayed up with haley from the 10pm-1am shift so that i could get some sleep & also helped out around the house a ton - cleaning and doing laundry, etc. i think she went up and down our stairs at least 50 times during the week! thanks!!!
we went on our first trips into town with grandma - to babies r us, BJs, JC Penny, Safeway, and for a few walks around the neighborhood. haley was a trooper and did soooo good! here are some pics from grandma's time here. my dad (pepaw) had to work and could not make the trip here, but we look forward to seeing him in december!

mom also helped with haley's first & second baths at home! haley did so well, and didn't seem to mind the water too much, as long as we kept a warm washcloth on her tummy to keep her somewhat warm. of course she cried, but it was not as bad as when they bathed her in the hospital the day we were released!
thanks to aunt sara & uncle jake for the digital turtle thermometer, to help be sure the water was warm enough! i NEVER would have made it that warm on my own, but she seemed to really love the temperature when we had the water on her.
