Our First Day Home

We were able to come home late Saturday--around 9pm. I just didn't want to stay in the hospital another day, and was able to get permission (thank goodness) to come home early. Jamie and I brought Jesse home and got settled in Saturday night, and the kids continued to stay at my parents until Sunday midday.


Sunday was our first full day at home as a family of six. We had the best day. I couldn't have asked for more. The kids were happy to be home--and I was so happy to have them all there. We enjoyed spending time together and just being home!


Jesse had his first bath. He was so good for it. He didn't cry at all. He just sat in his little seat and let me wash him. He is so tiny!!



Jack was happy to be able to play with the trains in Joe's room again. He immediately asked to play choo choo with Joe almost upon walking in the door:-).



Jack got to help wake up Jesse for a feeding, and "held" him for the first time.





Hanna absolutely adores Jesse. She wants to spend every second she can with him while he is awake. It is such a blessing to have her help, and to know that she loves him so deeply.



Joe loved his surprise from Jamie. A new hotwheels dinosaur track to add to the ones he already has. Jamie and Joe had fun setting it up and playing together. I'm not sure who had more fun with it--Jamie or Joe:-).



To end the day, we had our Muffin Tin Monday meal for Sunday dinner, while reading a few books. Hanna and Joe enjoyed another sleepover, complete with "roasting marshmallows" for smores and hot chocolate too.



We had a wonderful day. I am so thankful we are all home together, and hope that our adjustment and transition period will continue to go as well as today has!

  5. You know, I think we have the same blanket sleeper, or whatever those are called. The cute yellow one, I remember my little guys wearing it.
    And I love the shot of Hannah and Jesse
