A few pictures to capture hospital life on Tuesday...

| Starting the morning off with Lexie's first selfie |
Dr. Friesen stopped in first thing to check-up on us during his morning off. He offered to let us go home that day, but we opted to wait until the following day. Might as well take advantage of the extra helping hands and room service while we could!

Great-grandma Burger had an appointment in Lincoln that morning so she was able to stop by the hospital to meet Lexie Ruth. Lexie shares a middle name with her great-grandma Joan Ruth, so we were able to introduce her to her namesake at just one day old. The middle name is also a tribute to my grandma, Vera Ruth Benne, who Lexie unfortunately will not get to meet as she passed away when I was 32 weeks pregnant. The name Ruth means
friend and
companion and both of Lexie's great-grandmas have been shining examples of this.

That afternoon we were scheduled to take hospital newborn pictures. Due to a series of unfortunate events they did not go very well. Eventually we were able to get a few pretty cute shots while Lexie laid on a blanket in my arms.

Tuesday evening Ryan picked up Kylie and grandma Nancy so they could join us for dinner at the hospital.

Our good friends, the Stoltenows, stopped by for a visit that night.
Baby Sam is less than 4 months old, but it was incredible to be reminded what a difference those months make. We are doing our best to cherish all these first precious moments while Lexie is still so little.
You know a doctor who wears a Husker football sweatshirt on duty is cool. :) Love the namesake story. You got some very sweet hospital photos, both professional and otherwise.♥
