We're HOME!

Patrick makes me laugh, I barely expected him to post pictures and he managed to remember every detail! (Even what type of stinky Chinese food he was inhaling! lol) And while it was a little scary for a few minutes, I think he managed to make it sound worse than it was (or could have been!)! I do want to tell him that I LOVE him SO much and thanks for all of the brave faces and sweet words! We scared him pretty bad! But he was seriously great through everything, I could not have done it without him!!! I also have to thank him for not putting any pictures of my train wreck self up! :) ...But for all of the drama, it was well worth it! She is beautiful! And we are SO excited she is here!
We got to come home last night, which was heaven sent! Especially since hospital beds and food are not the most awesome things ever... and the boys couldn't come to the hospital! It was very nice to be home! And the boys were pretty excited to see us too! :)
Jackson is in love! He has to be within a few feet of her all the time, holding her, talking to her, asking questions about her. She is the apple of his eye... but it's only been a day! haha. It's very sweet. She makes a peep and he comes running! Harrison, I'm pretty sure, thinks she is a new pet! haha. Like a puppy, everyone wants to hold her and pet her hair! :) But he seems to be pretty ok with having her around. No major issues yet!
I really am doing so well! I feel better than I did after Harrison, which I totally did not expect. My only problem right now is a cough (the cough the doctors were so worried about because I aspirated) that has suddenly returned. But yesterday my x-rays were clear, so I am going to do my breathing exercises and hope for the best.

Thanks to uncle Kenny for being the babysitter/entertainment for a couple of days and making the trip down here to help us out! It was VERY appreciated! And thanks to all of our family and friends for all of your love and support and prayers! We love and miss you all!

Now... on with the adjusting. We have about a week and a half with all 5 of us at home, so we are going to enjoy the crap out of it!
