Our Baby is home!
What a great day for everyone! Exactly 3 months to the date Brielle is home!! 93 days in the NICU! Its been quite the ride! But we made it! We are still trying to figure out our "routine" as to be expected. How to carry her around the house will all her wires and trying not to worry too much when we put her down for a minute. Figuring out all her noises and what they mean! When we first got home she started to fuss. And I just kinda said to myself "Hmmm wonder what she wants. I just changed her she just ate at the NICU, I usually have the nurses to tell me what she wants." Now its all on me and Josh. I got her a bottle and she ate another 10ML. Little chunker. Then 2 hours later she took 50ML. 7:30am she had a huge poop for me at the hospital and around 4:30 she was SUPER crabby so dad of course hands her to me and I go to look in her diaper OMG is all I can say!!! I dont know where this girl stores it all! It was almost up her back!!! Then her wires got in it and O boy! Well we have company so I will write more tomorrow and let everyone know how her first night went! And ours of course! But wanted to tell everyone that she is home!!!

ReplyDeleteI can't even begin to imagine your joy and gratitude as you bring your sweeet gift from God home! It was so kind of you to bring her to work today so Grandma could hold her. She was flying on cloud nine the rest of the afternoon. I really enjoyed being able to share in that joy as well. God's blessings as you continue on your journey. You are an awesome family!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteSpectacular!! Enjoy adjusting! If she wants to get out of the house this weekend, come to our cabin in New London!! We'll be there all weekend (except for a while Saturday afternoon).
ReplyDeleteI suppose she's too little to jetski yet, huh? The way she's eating--not for long!
