It was a hard day.
For both of us.
It was a lot easier to speak about the next few months hypothetically when planning for Lauren's birth and our return to Colombia.
It was an entirely different feeling to actually do it.
But we did.
Matt checks Lauren out every morning on the baby monitor, I send lots of pictures through the day, and we FaceTime every night, and count each day as another day closer to being reunited as a family of three.
Thank goodness for technology.
On a lighter note,
here are some pictures of Lauren's adventurous first two weeks as a McQuinn...
Grandpa & Grandma McQuinn visited from Iowa. They met Lauren at the hospital and spent a week with us in Tennessee getting to know our little lady. We are looking forward to seeing them again at Christmas in Iowa.
Matt, my brother Tyler and both of Lauren's grandfathers attended the Tennessee vs. Georgia game.
Lauren had appropriate game day attire thanks to Aunt Alysa.
My Uncle Dan from Texas was also in town for the game, so I had the pleasure of introducing him to Lauren.
On Sunday, Matt, my brother and father all had tickets to the Chiefs vs. Titans game in Nashville.
Lauren also had the appropriate apparel for this event.
We've also been enjoying walks and shopping trips with Lauren, bonding time with Bella, and a newborn photo session, as well as a few of our own.
Our most favorite thing the past two weeks...
...hands down...
...staring, loving, and getting to know our baby girl.
We are constantly in awe of her every move, facial expression, and feature.
Lauren has brought a new level of love and happiness to our little family.
She's a perfect fit.
