Have We Got Some Good News For You!
Posted by admin | Filed under Amy
Somebody came home today.
Last night we got word from the hospital that baby Amy was scheduled to go home.
We showed up at the hospital at 10:00 this morning with our car seat in hand. We met with the doctor, talked with a few specialists and nurses, and waited in the parent lounge. Aleena fed the baby at the hospital for (hopefully) the last time. At 12:45 we walked to the car with our third daughter in tow.
It was a quiet ride home, aside from Natalie and Erika playing slug-bug. I just can’t get over the fact that this day has finally come. It is exactly 5 weeks since Amy was born. She was born weighing 4lbs 1oz and left weighing 5lbs 3oz. I can gain that in one sitting. We are all just pinching ourselves (I am pinching more than an inch) that she is actually here. She’s asleep in her bassinet as I type this treatise. I will hopefully wake up and have this baby waiting to eat or crying. We haven’t had a newborn around for 6 years.
The older sisters are just sooo excited. Both Natalie and Erika want to hold the baby and take care of her. We gave Amy a bath tonight and there was plenty of assistance to go around. We can only hope that this attitude carries on for a few more years and numerous diaper changes.
Thanks to everybody for all the love, prayers and support. It has truly paid off. Our precious baby has finally come home to her family.
