  2. Adele Lynn Criner – this is the first pictures of Adele posted on the ole’ internet!
  4. Abigail singing first song to Adele [Video] – probably one of my favorite moments in the hospital.
  6. Adele is sleeping! – a picture of our sweet girl resting in the hospital
  8. We are home and happy! (and a video to boot!) – a crying baby is fun to video.
  10. Adele in her take home outfit – this is one of my favorite family pictures right before we left the hospital.

Can you see a theme? Yes – it’s Adele, and more Adele… it’s been a furious month and she’s about to be a month old soon!! Can’t believe it. We are thankful for the (literally) 4,000+ views of the website this past month. We are blessed indeed.

On this particular moment, she decided to hold her nose… not sure if something smelled bad to her. Not sure. But, enjoy!

I think we’ll keep her.

We’re beginning to find the new normal with her… mainly how I will have to adjust at work, how much I work from home, my reading habits, etc. So far, we’ve made the transition pretty well. Adele loves to sleep, so there are a lot more quiet moments in our home than I thought – but that will change I’m sure.

I think one of the neatest things with this season of life is the adventure of this new territory. The house now has bottles and burp rags and onesies, etc… things that really weren’t around before she came along. And I’m glad these things are here. The Lord has a wonderful way of giving you grace and favor to prepare your heart for these moments. Adele could cry and it really doesn’t phase me… I still love her. She could poop all over herself – yep, still got love for her.

So, we’re embracing this time… it’s only been a week but we’re loving it. Below is a video of Adele in the Hospital nursery… only I was able to go into this room. It was a sweet time for me. It’s also a short video because while I could watch it 1,000 times, you probably don’t care as much.

Nothing is wrong or out of the ordinary, we’re just doing our first checkup for her. This is to check to see if she has Jaundice. It’s pretty common in newborns, but according to our Pediatrician on Thursday, Adele seems to be clear – but we were asked to come in regardless… SO – we’re taking a little trip BACK to the Hospital for this routine checkup!

UPDATE

We went to the Adele’s Pediatrician and they became pretty concerned about her weight loss. In total she has lost about 10% of her birth rate which was a little more than they like for newborns to lose. So, we then saw a specialist who recommended a pretty intense amount of formula in conjunction with normal feeding… so this is what we’ve been doing today… lots and lots of feeding. Adele seems to be handling it pretty well, and is still sleeping REALLY good too.

So, we’re adjusting to the new way to feed, but Adele seems to love everything! Evidence is the picture below!

And here it is.

So here is another little vid or Adele simply looking around and making some faces. Nothing really extravagant, just a close up of our little girl!

(and a video to boot!) http://michaelcriner.com/2010/03/12/we-are-home-and-happy-and-a-video-to-boot/ http://michaelcriner.com/2010/03/12/we-are-home-and-happy-and-a-video-to-boot/#comments Fri, 12 Mar 2010 16:03:44 +0000 michaelcriner http://michaelcriner.com/?p=67 Thanks to everyone who has come to see Adele welcomed into the world. We’ve had quite the time getting her adjusted to her new surroundings, but she seems to be enjoying all the attention. Ebenezer (our dog) met her yesterday and has responded really well. No problems there!

A BIG THANKS to everyone who took time to wish us “congratulations” – it sure has meant a lot to us to have our phones and emails become FULL to over-capacity because of your generous love. Thanks also to the MANY of you who have visited – we are definitely loved by our family, friends, community, and church.

With that said, we would love to have today (Friday) as a day to continue adjusting… so, while we would love for you to visit Adele, we’re using Friday as a ‘Family Day’ (which has already begun with Friday Morning Breakfast). Thanks again for all the love and support!

Now here is a quick video of Adele crying!
