Home Sweet Home

All 3 kids are asleep right now so I thought I would give you a quick update:

We finally came home Monday. Aubrey has been doing so well adjusting to the continuous noises from her older siblings. The first night was a little rough going to bed. Aubrey was so used to all the lights and sounds in the NICU that the quietness of the night kept her up...go figure. So now her lights are on in her room as well as music, and she seems to be more comfortable. She is growing up so fast and I can't believe that she is already 2 weeks old. It's kind of sad to me b/c I know the time will fly by and I want to enjoy every minute. Every time I look at her, I praise God for being her Healer and entrusting me to be her mommy. It's amazing at how much love you can have for someone so little. I sat worried a week ago that I would be afraid to take her home and God has answered my prayers and given me much needed peace and comfort having her home.

Today my mom left and the mommy of 3 finally felt what real life will be like. They all wanted me at the same time...we got thru those couple of minutes but I know that I have a lot of learning ahead of me!! Can't wait :) We have been so blessed to have great friends who have been providing meals for us. We have meals coming until the end of the month. I won't take one of them for granted...thank you to all who have contributed!!

so glad to hear that you are home. What a blessing. I also heard that you are in a new home. I thought you were renting. I am happy that you are in your home. I wish I could bring you a meal over. Enjoy every moment!!! Keep those pictures coming, I love them.
