HOME!

We are home!

We were excited, but a little sad to leave the hospital. Really, the only reason that I wanted to leave is because Eli wasn't handling us being gone very well...I felt so helpless that I couldn't go be with him.

On the other hand, I loved sitting in my hospital bed with Chris watching TV...that never happens at home.

In the end, Eli won out and we came home a day early...

Here is Miss Ileigh in her "Coming Home Outfit". It was a little 3 piece set that Chris' mom gave us...

At the last second we pulled a nurse in from down the hall and asked her to take a little family picture for us. In the middle of getting everyone else's pictures, we totally forgot to get one with the three of us. 

Here is the diaper wreath that my cousin Kaci made for the door- I got so many compliments on it and would even hear people commenting on it as they walked by. It made me feel so special- thanks again, Kaci! 

They let us escape with another one! Someday they will know better...

Literally 30 seconds after we walked through the door, Tim, Amber and Addy came over! They had just missed us at the hospital.

Eli was super excited about his birthday present! 

Aunt Amber and Ileigh... 

Cousin Addy Grace and Ileigh Grace! 

Eli....still lovn' the new tractor... 

Big family pic...I am telling you, if you touch our baby, you have to have your picture taken... 

Eli. Still "diggin'" the new tractor...awesome distraction from all the attention baby sister was getting...perfect! 

Thank you everyone for the calls, e-mails, text and messages.

We are slowing getting use to having an infant in the house again.

Kudos to Chris, yet again. He is already back at work and a champ throughout the night for me.

I am still really sore and having a hard time getting around, but I have some awesome drugs to pull me through!

Also, thanks to my mom- she took off this week to stay and help me with Eli. He is a little heavier than the 5lbs limit my doctor set for me to lift. Honestly, I have no idea what I am going to do when she is gone, but we will just take it one day at a time...
