It was no surprise that, upon hearing that Logan had made it safe and sound into the world, grandparents were dying to fly / drive in to meet him. Grandma and Grandpa von Wahlde visited the weekend we were back from the hospital. Grandpa V was eager to see how Logan liked the cradle he had made for him (okay, and maybe to hold Logan, too!). Grandma V did one of the things she does best -- introducing Logan to all of the songs she used to sing to Lisa. With soothing songs she lulled him to sleep many times during their stay with us.
Shortly after Grandma and Grandpa V's visit, Gram and Grandpa Kvidahl flew in to meet their very first grandchild. They too couldn't get enough of our "snugglesaurus". Grandpa cooked all kinds of delicious meals to help get some color back in Lisa's face (evidently it takes about 3 months to replenish a unit of blood) and Gram baked some delicious treats to keep spirits (and Lisa's caloric intake for nursing) up. 
Having moral and physical support from both sides of the family made all the difference in David and I figuring out how to survive this new version of our lives (or at least the first 3 months of it anyway). And for that we can't thank them enough!
