We brought Josie home yesterday, and launched into errands preparing for Christmas and the Doctor's family being around. Dr. Grandpa (the Doctor's dad), Grandma Sue, Aunt Sarah, Grandpa A, and Grandma were all there for a pizza dinner from Little Star (mmmm) and some rounds of pass the baby. The Doctor forced everyone to use hand sanitizer.

The evening was ok; we're still learning to get the necessary steps of a Josie-cycle (nurse, burp, re-diaper, sooth) in the right order and in a shorter time (especially at night, to allow for more time for sleeping). A few funny things & pics:

* The Doctor felt her poo while holding her (infants poop rather explosively), started to change her, and she was still not done pooping, meaning the changing table cover, the new diaper, and her clothes were all covered.

* Ilsa overestimated the viscosity of Josie's mustard colored "output" and similarly soiled an extra set of clothes.

* Ilsa's parents made a welcome sign for Josie!


* Josie just after her triumphant discharge weigh-in, up two percent from her previous weighing (about 1.75 % of her body weight!):
