Hooray for Home

Official news we were headed home came this week. Alivia is a few days ahead of her sister. While sad Annalise wasn't equally as ready to come home, we know she is only a few days behind and will be making the same journey home soon. Having been home a few days now, we are glad we had this slow transition home and into the world of twindom!

Alivia, day 14
We were discharged from the hospital on Thursday, and got to hold and love Alivia for the first time without any monitors connected to her.  It made us nervous to detach from the reassurance all the monitoring gave us, but now that we've been home a few days watching her every adorable move and listening to her coo, we are more relaxed.

Alivia ready for home

She gets swallowed up in the carseat (and this is even one of the smaller models!), and I of course rode home in the back seat with her.  As any baby would do, she slept the entire ride home. 



And yet the nursery isn't quite finished yet, but getting close.  I have art to hang and arranging to do.  I never thought the day would come that I'd have them home to fill the cribs.  I can't wait to see them both here.  Soon!
