We're Home!

After 3 weeks & 5 days in the NICU, we are finally home!  Abby Gayle came home on Thursday, November 12th.  It has been so good adjusting to her and her to home!  But, big brother has had the biggest adjustment to make - no longer getting all the attention!  He has done really good with her and has been very gentle with her.  But, he just can't understand why he can't jump on the couch with her on it!  And why she can't play cars with him!  We are waiting for him to tell us to take her back! 
As for our nights, the first two nights were pretty sleepless.  She just could not get comfortable in any place except our arms.  The bassinett just wasn't cutting it!  Last night (night #3), she slept in my arms all night!  Whatever it takes to get some sleep!  Then, at 5:30 AM, big brother wants to come in and get the same treatment!  Oh well!  No complaints here!
Overall, the adjustment has been wonderful!  She is doing very well on formula with minimal spit ups.  Her tummy still bothers her and she grunts and groans most of the time.  But, she hardly cries & is so laid back.  She's gonna fit right into this family! 
Pictures to come soon!  It is true when they say, the second child doesn't get photographed as much as the first!  Now I understand why!
