Home at Last

Her first picture without the NG tube.
That red mark on her head is a hemangioma, which is a cluster of extra blood vessels. It's basically a birthmark that will go away someday, but it might get much bigger before it goes away. I'm hoping it stays tiny! Luckily she's a girl and I can put a bow over it. It felt so good to hold her without wires and tubes, and no alarms beeping at us.


Strapped in for the ride home. We laughed when we put her in because she was so small in the carseat.Now Joey and Tyler can hold her to their hearts content. They have to take turns, though, much to their annoyance. They want her all to themselves. Jason still won't hold her.It's such a great feeling to have my kids all safely gathered. When I was at home I thought about her constantly, and wanted to be with her. When I was at the hospital with her I was thinking about Jared and the boys, and wanted to be home with them. My mind is at ease now.

  2. I can't believe that picture of her in the car seat! I've obviously seen pictures of how tiny she is but none really hit me until that one. So glad for you that she's home and thriving.
