Brian is home!!

We got to take Brian home from the hospital today after 27 days in the NICU. He hit 5 pounds 3 ounces today, exactly 2 pounds bigger than his birth weight. We are so happy to have him home with us, and he is sleeping soundly in his bassinet now. We are thankful to all the nurses and doctors who took such great care of him. Here are some pictures of our morning (I still don't get this blogger thing and the order they upload pictures in!)-

Family picture leaving the hospital

All bundled up and ready to go

Trying to wake him up to eat before leaving the hospital- we weren't successful

Out of order, but here he is taking his first nap in his bassinet at home


Another family shot in Brian's hospital room

With his froggy blanket he had with him everyday in the hospital

Not waking up to eat :o)

First time unhooked from all his cords and monitor

Last nap in his crib at the hospital

CONGRATULATIONS! We have all been anxiously waiting & praying for this day to come for you & Ben to bring your son home. And, here he is in less than a month...which I know seemed a lifetime to you & Ben both. He continues to be in our thoughts & prayers.
Love, Aunt Judy & Uncle Harold
