Grandma Sue arrived in town on the 13th, just a day before Kateli was released for the hospital. We were so excited to have her here with us, and joyous that she was able to come meet little Katherine. We had no idea that Katherine would be released while she was here, so our thought was that grandma and I would be travelling to the hospital daily to go spend time with baby. Since I had had a C-section and was advised not to drive for at least 2 weeks post partum, Grandma was going to be the lucky driver of our 5 speed vehicle. According to daddy, she had not driven a stick shift in years. Grandma was such a good sport about it, and she got to practice a little bit on the drive home from the airport with daddy. They finally arrived at the hospital and grandma Sue got to meet little Katherine.
Grandma was here for about 10 days and it was so wonderful having her here with us during that time. Grandma did everything from go out to get fresh bread almost daily to washing baby's clothes, to cleaning the entire house. She also got to spend quality time with Katherine, rocking her, feeding her bottles, cradling her as she napped, and talking and singing to her when she was awake. We were all sad to see her go.
