Welcome Home Emma!

After 104 days, Emma finally came home on Thursday. We’ve spent the past 2 days enjoying her, often with silly grins on our faces :)

Emma appears to be adjusting well, although she does seem to have her days and nights mixed up. She’s been most alert/awake between midnight and 4 a.m, which does NOT make for a very alert Mommy the next day. As the NICU/SCN was pretty busy 24 hours a day, I guess Emma will just need time to get used to the more ‘normal’ rhythm of home life.

We’ll certainly continue with regular Emma Report updates, though likely not daily posts. For now, please enjoy Michaela being a very helpful Big Sister….

    How Beautiful you ALL look. It is so wonderful to have Emma home. Of course we know the photographer is Mommy and could not be in the picture too. You now have your Family all together. How Nice.
    Lot’s of Hugs and Kisses from the proud Grandparents.
