We're home! We've had a lot of big events in the last 24 hours. Andrew was able to join us in Leanne's hospital room last night. We really enjoyed having him there even though it was our first night to get to feed throughout the night.
This morning, we had our first doctor visit -- it was Andrew's doctor. He had a clean bill of health, and we were told that we could take him home. Then we had to wait for Leanne's doctor who had a full case load. By the time her doctor arrived, we were completely packed and itching to head out the door.
Leanne received a clean bill of health, too, and we were released to head home!!! Andrew slept through his first car ride.
Lauren has been practicing her cute looks. I think she still has her touch. Here are a couple of examples from the hospital room. Lauren finally got to meet Andrew at about 1:00 this afternoon. We were really excited to make the introduction. Lauren hasn't completely grasped the concept of having a baby brother, but I think the concept is starting to grow on her.
Gran D has been Super duper helpful during the bed rest and birthing process. She has also been extremely patient since she didn't get to hold Andrew until he arrived at home today. Here she is with her new grandson.
Thanks to everyone for your prayers, encouragement, and support. It means a lot. We especially thank God for His goodness to us.
Lauren needs to learn how to fish so that she can teach her younger brother, so Uncle Dave helped with the excursion to the pond next to the hospital. It was a good time. We saw lots of turtles and fish. We even caught some fish. This one is just the right size for Lauren.
