Coming Home with Charlotte Anne

On April 30 we finally got to get our family under one roof!  The night before Charlotte Anne was released from the NICU, David and I stayed in their family room all together.  We all did great - especially Charlotte Anne.  You could set your watch by her - every 4 hours.  NICU was an emotionally tough time, but it did wonders to get bitsy on a schedule, used to noise, and she can get herself to sleep.  We are counting our blessings, however they come.  :)

My Aunt Deb was staying with us, so she was at home to take care of big sister and to welcome us home.

When SK got home from school she was beyond excited to meet her baby sister.  We had her go wash her hands and then introductions were made.  Charlotte Anne slept through it all, but Sarah Katherine was thrilled to see her baby!  

Once SK had a bath and some non-daycare clothes on she got to hold and feed her sister.  She is already so helpful and a great big sis!!!  I'm so excited to see them grow up together.  I am just riding this honeymoon period as long as possible.  I'm sure the fussing will start eventually, but all is great for now!
