Welcome Home Olivia

We have Olivia at home - not our home, but still out of the hospital. We passed all the checks, talked to her neonatologist, and escaped from DeVos Children's Hospital around 12:30 today. It felt wonderful. Now we just have one trek left and we will have Olivia at her own home, in her own bed.

Abby was very excited to have her baby sister at Grandma's house too - she climbed right up onto my lap to see her and helped pick out an outfit for Olivia to change into. I think she is pretty excited about her new role as big sister so far and I hope she keeps up that good attitude in our next few weeks and months learning how to be a family of four.

Making It Home

We made it home, and just in time based on the snow fall that started shortly after we arrived. All of Abby's new toys made it safely into the house and we have already put most of them away. We have lots of cool things to play with, and lots of great pictures from the last few days to share, but not right now. We have quite a few things to finish up before bed - like adding the new electric blanket (thanks Grandma Lorraine) to our bed :-)
