Greta was finally able to come home from the hospital yesterday, after spending the week in the NICU. We are so grateful for the Priesthood and for modern medicine (antibiotic). It was a hard week for the Vance family. Especially Crista. You'd never know she had just had a baby. She was running back and forth from the hospital like a champ--but it was difficult having to leave Greta there after each feeding.
When the nurses moved the IV from Greta's little hand to her head, it was almost more than Matt and Crista could handle. The IV only lasts for about a day before they have to move it. They start with the hands, then the head, and then go to the foot.
When she started scratching herself, they had Crista put her in an outfit.
At least Ruby and I had a good time when Matt and Crista were with baby Greta.

In this picture, it was Matt playing with Ruby--I'm not sure
I would have had enough energy for this game.

Ruby saw Greta on the day she was born, but after they took her to the NICU, Ruby was only able to see her through the glass.
Finally, they were able to come home.
I stayed in Logan until Wednesday evening. Roy and Caitlyn came up to see the baby, then I went home with Roy so we could close on our house on Thursday. My stress level has been greatly reduced now that I only have one house to worry about. We still have a few things left to be done to be able to call our new house finished, but in the meantime we are enjoying it as we continue unpacking. Friday and Saturday we actually got a lot accomplished, hung several of our paintings, and continued putting stuff away (and giving stuff away).
I took Yuna out to lunch for her birthday and let her pick out a birthday outfit. She picked a frilly dress with Dory on the front. Apparently she's been wearing it ever since. Doyeon came with us so that Jieun could rest. She's had mastitis, and other infections going on this week.
Yuna was very happy about her birthday. She turned 3.

We celebrated closing on our home by going to Market Street Grill (and because I had a birthday coupon).
We enjoy so many blessings, and especially this week we're grateful that all of the new babies in our family (Effie, Dojin and Greta) are doing well.
