Avery got to come home from the hospital on February 25th, 2009. Big brothers Daven and Logan came to pick her up, along with Daddy. They were all so excited. Mike kept saying, I hope she is excited to go home with us. As we were being wheeled out of the hospital, she was wide awake and so calm. I could tell she was excited to come home with us. Avery is very calm, every time I hold her, she calms me down.
Getting all dressed to come home. I was so excited because she actually got to wear the going home outfit I brought for her.
Ready to go home! So, I was so excited as you can tell. This was my first baby that I was actually able to bring home from the hospital with me. Daven had to stay for 24 hours in the nursery due to Jaundice. That was rough. But, nothing compared to Logan's 10 day stay in the NICU. I kept praying and praying during the pregnancy that all would be well so we could bring her home. I was so nervous this morning when they checked her bili levels, but so relieved and excited when they were normal & she got the okay to come home! YAY!
When we got home, Avery was still asleep in the car seat. I wanted to let this sleeping baby lye. But, Daven and Logan were so excited, they got pillows and blankets out. They hung out next to her for a while.
Here is Avery with big brother, Daven. He loves to hold her so much. She grabs his face sometimes. The first time she did this, Daven giggled, and said, "I like that!" It is so sweet to see how much he loves her (and babies!)..He keeps talking about how he wants to grow up so he can be a daddy.
That night, I had Mike take Avery, and I soaked up being able to read the boys bedtime stories. It is so nice to have everyone home together. What a wonderful feeling. No pumping, running back and forth to the hospital, etc. Now if I can just get some sleep:) Avery likes to eat every few hours. I don't know why I would think she would be any different. The boys were the same way.
