Homecoming

January 6th: Bringing Home Baby...

After 5 long days in the hospital, it was finally time to come home!! After days of nurses taking her vital signs every couple of hours, doctors examining her once a day, and security alarms going off if she got even a little too close to the door.... they were just going to let us roll out the door with her! No instructions, no lessons, no rules. This was OUR baby, and they were going to let us take her home.... to OUR house! It was just too crazy!!

Blakely dressed up in her "Take Me Home" Kissy Kissy outfit! Such a cute baby!!

 They insisted I be taken to the car in a wheelchair. I could not believe they were letting us take this precious little bundle home with us!!

Daddy working hard to snap Blakely in her car seat. It seemed simple when we read the instructions, but then when you have this very precious cargo it becomes extremely important to make sure you do it right.

 Our Family headed home together for the first time!!

Cutest thing in a car seat ever! I absolutely love this car seat that we ordered off of Etsy! She just looks so adorable and girly in it!

In early December, my mom looked in to renting a stork for the yard, but it was kind of expensive.... so we decided to see if we could make our own. This is the end result.... "Tobey!" I think we did a pretty good job, and now we can re-use him for all the rest of the Tober Grandbabies!! :)

Since we got Max 2 1/2 years ago, I have wondered how he would do with a baby. When we first got home, Max had missed Rich and I so much he didn't even notice the baby... he just wanted to be held. Then.... he noticed the "new arrival." He seemed interested at first, but as soon as she started crying he made a run for it. They currently continue to pretend as if the other doesn't exist, but I know they are secretly best friends!! ;)

Welcome Home Baby Girl!!
