Home Again, Home Again!!

Hello, again!!


Well since we have been home it seems to be going alright. Amelia has been pretty good with only a few out bursts over wanting whichever of us was holding Caroline. She does occassionaly want to help with her and sometimes wants nothing to do with her. She will ask to hold her and then be done in 30 seconds!


Caroline is doing alright, I think she will be sleeping in her own room tonight though because I did not sleep at all last night due to her grunting! I do not hear the child grunt at all upstairs but last night she was like a little pig!! She got up twice during the night but we didn't acutaually go to bed until 11:30.


Today was her appointment and they said all was well, she is eating really well and has gained weight, she now weights 4 lbs 14 oz. So we are really close to the 5 lb mark! So far it has been relatively easy juggling both kids but when Ben goes back to work Wednesday or Thursday I am sure my patience will be tested!




Here are a few pictures since we have been home, neither of them are being very photogenic. Amelia does not want her picture taken and when Caroline is awake it means she is hungry and when she is hungry she is wriggling all over with her outh wide open!

Hope you enjoy!!




Love - us





Caroline expressing that she needs fed now!!



Loving the outfit Aunt Kim got her!!



So cute!




Feed Me!!



Ben and I thought she did not look like Amelia, but now we are certain she is Amelia's mini me!!
But only time will tell!





Love her!



Thursday night when we got home we played Dora Candyland and read books! I was just happy to sit on my own couch rather than a hotel bed!!


Just a few pictures from the hospital after they took her nose tube out.


Looks exactly like Amelia did!

I'm so glad you are all home where you belong! Caroline looks big in the pictures but her head in your hand really does show her true size! Can't wait to get up there to see her and finally hold her! Saw Max today and had to fight my girls to hold him - sure it will be the same with Caroline!

Everybody looks great! Glad everything went smooth for you when you got home. If you guys provide enough pay and health insurance, I will come and fill in for Ben!! Or Silly Ben as Jake called him. :)
That outfit is super cute! Is it swimming on her?
Thank you for the pictures!!!
Love
Aunt Kendall
A person who really wants to meet Caroline!

Oh my goodness she is swimming in the preemie outfit! I can't believe that! Those clothes were so tiny and I was worried that she wouldn't fit in them!
I am so glad you are all home safe and sound!
Love you!
Kim

Kori, she is beautiful! Hope all continues going well and your little family gets all settled in. Happy New Year! It's another year of change, but a wonderful change. God bless you all!
