Delaney is Home!

Sunday afternoon we came home from a visit with Laney and were just hanging out when we got our daily call from the NICU doctors. This conversation was a little unexpected. The doctor gave me a report followed by, "So, there's no reason to keep her here any longer. Looks like she can go home tomorrow." I panicked a little trying to wrap my head around what he was saying. Everything was happening so fast! So, after 10 days in the NICU, our little girl was coming home. We spent that night in the NICU suite and Laney stayed with us. Nurses came in throughout the night to check on her and make sure everything was okay. She had to eat well during the night and pass her carseat test and then she could come home.
It was such a wonderful and terrifying night bringing her home.



And now she's home and doing well. She's dropped her weight just a little, but is still above her birth weight. She is eating better each day and she continues to sleep well being feedings. She is a very sweet little girl.
