The Day We Brought Emily Home

I love the time in the hospital with a new baby, but it is so wonderful when you get to take that sweet baby home.  Emily and I spent the morning much  in the same way we spent the previous night - with her being sleepy and me marveling at how perfectly perfect  she is.  I still can’t believe she is ours… three amazing little girls… it blows my mind. 

 

When Kyle arrived, he surprised me with a beautiful bouquet of flowers.  Emily was glad to see her dad too but she was too sleepy to show it.

“Little Kyle,” Kara and Tami also came by to meet Emily.  Shortly after they stopped by, Katelyn and Brooke arrived rested and ready to hang out with their new little sister.

It was so fun to watch the girls admire and check out their little sister.  Brooke liked Katelyn to do the holding while she did the looking.  They were so excited to spend time with her and it was so fun to watch Emily interact with them – she was actually alert, which is quite a feat considering it was only day 2.

Before heading home, we had a bit of excitement – but that deserves it’s own post… so more on that later.  Once we got all packed up, Kyle took a few more photos of his girls and then we headed for home.

Once we were home, Emily’s big sisters happily held and snuggled her all evening.  They let her know that she will definitely never be lonely or ignored – whether she likes it or not.  We look forward to watching these three girls together and I hope that their friendship and the bond of sisterhood will be a source of strength and comfort for each of them throughout their lives and that Kyle and I will survive them being teenagers.  Welcome Home Emily!
