Baby Comes Home!
Posted by Shaun on Wednesday Sep 24, 2008 Under InfancyThank you all for your encouragement and support! Chelsea and I are very fortunate to have a great network of friends and family.
Everyone is looking for more pictures and I finally got a few minutes to post, so without further ado (remember you can click on the images to see them larger):
One thing we noticed straight away was that this kid has hair – and lots of it! The color is very dark brown and a little wavy, but it’s hard to get a good picture.
She might have a lot of hair, but this hat makes her a whole lot warmer (and it looks cute too). When Chelsea made it we thought there was NO WAY it would fit because she accidentally made it too small. It’s a good thing because none of the other infant hats even come close to fitting-they are way too big!
Chelsea quickly noticed that Lucy has VERY long toes (although they’re curled in this picture so you can’t tell). Notice how small her feet are relative to my hand!
Chelsea and I took birthing classes and met a really nice couple there. It turns out they went into labor the same time as us and we delivered 15 minutes apart! The other little girl’s name is Kara and we’ll be seeing her later for some play dates.
Some of the most exciting news today is that we got to come home!! YAY! The El Camino Hospital was absolutely fabulous, but lets face it – it’s still a hospital. Due to some legal concerns, they made Chelsea take a wheel-chair ride to the car. Don’t worry though, Chelsea is up and running around like nothing ever happened and I’m having to remind her NOT to pick anything up (except for Lucy).
After a careful drive on the US 101 we arrive at home as a family. So far the Element is working GREAT as a baby carrier which is great because it’s also a wonderful mountain bike, home improvement, camping and beach vehicle.
We’ll continue to update regularly now that we’re at home. Thanks again for all of your support and encouragement!

Welcome home…….Here in my town they always make you leave the hospital in a wheel chair no matter the reason you are there….Glad the happy family is home…and everything went so well…..The baby girl is beautiful….the hat is adorable…Hope you all are able to get a good nights sleep tonight..but I sort of doubt it….

Aww man, those pictures are so cute!! I love that pumpkin hat, funny how it worked out to be the right size and all, huh? 🙂 I can’t remember if Chelsea had a lot of heartburn during pregnancy, thus I am not sure if the heartburn-during-pregnancy-means-baby-has-lotsa-hair old wive’s tale is true in Lucy’s case? Either way, she has a beautiful head of hair! And check out those tiny baby feet! 🙂

Congrats, Chelsea and Shaun! Lucy is beautiful, and with those toes, surely will be an athlete (triathlete?). Keep the pics coming and enjoy getting to know your little girl!

After Chelsea’s 4:30 A.M. phone call to tell us that her water had broken and a wild trip, we we’re VERY happy to arrive at the hospital just in time to welcome our new granddaughter into the world.(47 min. to be exact 🙂 ). We both agree that she is one of eight of the most beautiful babies we have ever seen! 🙂 MiMi had to make a qiick shopping trip (darn) for some teeny tiny clothes as this is the tiniest baby ever to appear in our family and a girl has got to have clothes. Her proud PaPa remarked, several times, “She’s so tiny and so pretty!”,and she is both,tiny and pretty! It was very hard to leave today but we are very proud of all of them. Chelsea is doing a great job and is nursing her baby like a veteran already, Shaun is awesome, changing poopy diapers, doing laundry, vacuuming (in his own special way) and Lucy Camille Titus has taken over the house like the Princess she is.Thank you Shaun,Chelsea and Lucy for letting us share this special time and for making us Grandparents for the FOURTH time – we are truly blessed! We Love You All, MiMi and PaPa 🙂 XXX-OOO

Hi Chelsea, Shaun and Lucybug,
I am just home from the hospital–and I just had to see little Lucy. She is just as beautiful as I expected her to be and I am just so thrilled for all of you. She is one lucky little girl to have such wonderful parents! I love you all and will talk to you soon. (I wish I had been someplace other than the hospital when this all took place, but best laid plans . . .) Love, Marci

Congratulationsa0Susana & Brian! A beautiful Wedding and Reception in St. Augustine,Fl. We loved this Classic Southern Style Wedding with all of the spaceil touches.

The French Blue and Butter Yellowa0color palette was perfect. Dana Goodson captured the day . Below are some spaceil moments. For the full post go to: {Dana Goodson Photography Blog}
