big brother...

There isn't much to say.....priceless and a moment we will never forget!
Graham wanted to kiss her over and over again!

He was so sweet, we are hoping this will last! =)
He thought the hole in her passy was funny. "Can I put my finger in it daddy?"





We are so excited to finally have our family of four together. It's been a long journey with me being on bed rest for so long, then having our sweet Ellie in the nicu- we had people constantly here. What a huge blessing they have all been to our family and we couldn't have done it without them. We have been able to have precious time with ellie in the nicu during the day and after graham goes to bed b/c of our family. Our parents have truly been an amazing help, support and encouragement.


Here is Ellie all tucked in at our house. We kind of feel like we are in a dream. I guess having a baby and then her not being in our home for almost 6 weeks does funny things to your brain. Even though we've seen her everyday, it's a completely different feeling to have her really here! Now, we pray we get some sleep tonight, we'll see!

We will keep you all posted on her health and her feedings, again thank you!
