Hannah's Homecoming

After eight l-o-n-g days in the NICU, we were finally able to bring little Hannah home on Friday afternoon! It's always wonderful to bring a new baby home, but this time it felt just a little bit sweeter, knowing that she was healthy and that I wouldn't have to leave that hospital without her ever again!

I was a little nervous about how the boys would react to her, especially Logan. Fortunately, I think Logan fell in love with her at first sight. When we came home, he sat down beside her carseat and watched her and softly patted her hair. He kept saying, "He's so tiny!" It was too cute! (We have a great video of this, but I can't get it to download to the blog!) Logan has been so sweet with her! If he ever sees her without a headband in her hair, he says, "Where's his bow? He needs his bow!" (We're still working on the "she")

When Andrew got home from school, he didn't seem very interested in Hannah at first, but later in the evening, he held her and even said, "I like her. It's okay she's a girl." (He was really hoping for another brother.)

I think it's safe to say that we are all smitten with our little angel! Isn't she adorable?!
