When you came home.

When you finally came home to us we were so happy.  Grauntie Kim stayed for a few days, but then had to go back home to her family in California, so Grandma McKinney moved in to help us out.  The next day we met with a nurse service and you met Nixia, your first nurse.  She helped mommy and daddy alot and showed us alot about babies since she had 4 kids herself. She also went to all of your doctors appointments (there were alot at first) and helped babysit when mommy and daddy had to go out.  You did great for 27 days, but then you got a little bug and had to go back to the hospital NICU for 2 days.  The nurses and doctors all knew you so they got you healed quick.  About 2 weeks after that, we found out that you were allergic to the formula you were getting so you had to go back to the hospital.  This time though it was the PICU ward, a big kid room with a real crib and a bed so mommy or daddy could stay the night.  That only lasted 2 days though because they changed your formula and it was o.k.  When we got home you were still only 16 weeks old and 7 pounds.  Everything was great.  Daddy and mommy took turns with you every night, Nixia was there almost every day and Grandma was there every night.  You were (and still are) the cutest thing ever.  And to think that daddy never wanted kids.  If I would have known that I'd have you I never would have thought that.  I am so glad that mommy and daddy made you.  I love you baby girl.
