Guess who is home??

Gracie Girl got to come home from the NICU yesterday on her 2 week birthday!

Daddy has never driven so slowly in his whole life.

We are so happy to have her home…

…And are very very sleepy. We are. Gracie is not. Gracie is too excited about her new digs to sleep.

The pupperz are adjusting well. Or adjusting at least, Bernie kind of seems like he has had a psychotic break of some sort. Riding a major wave of anxiety.

Bella is so protective, like Nana from Peter Pan ‘cept lit’ler.

Now we are going to start trying to transition back to a new version of reality.

Thank you all so much for your support during the toughness. Now it is time for the JOY!

** UPDATE: I have already received one comment about this so I wanted to clear it up before I get 20 more. The pillow already came out of the crib, the stuffed animals are securely attached to the bars of the crib- one is actually a noise maker- and the bumpers will be coming out as soon as she gets a little stronger. Thank you for the heads up, we have the crib safety thing under control, but we certainly don’t want to do anything to hurt Gracie Girl. Which became evident last night after the 1000th time I tip toed in there just to make sure she was still breathing.**

  12. congratulations on bringing your little girl home at what seems much sooner than what you expected. i am glad she is healing well!!

    and from the bottom of my heart in the most sincere way, please check with your pediatrician about sleep recomendations for infants regarding pillows, crib bumpers and stuffed animals in the bed.

  30. Are you telling me that one cannot have bumpers or little fluffy stuffed guys in a crib anymore? How did you /we all survive? Do bumpers suffocate? I am totally out of the baby loop and need some refreshin’! Dazed and confused….congrats on building GQ a dream crib though! Welcome to Inwood , Baby girl!Will be payin you a visit real soon!
