Brooke's homecoming!

Yeah! My dream has finally come true...the whole family is together. We had a wonderful day today. After going to Kyle's music class (thanks to mom for staying the night and during music!) we came home, napped (starting to love these!) then went to pick up Brooke. We took the whole family so we could share in the excitement together. It was quite a feat to say the least! When we finally let my mom go home (ugh?!?!) she will upload pictures of our day. The triple stroller is going to take some getting used to...the thing is so huge, the wheels have to come off to fit into the back of the van :-)

What an amazing birthday present for Ed today to bring home his only daughter. To celebrate his birthday, we made a cake and of course, Kyle got to blow out the candles. He tried to blow with little success but realized that if he said "poof" it blew out the candles rather easily! We feel so blessed to have everyone home, safe and sound. The fun now begins as Brooke is on a three hour eating schedule (along with three medications!) and the boys can go a little bit longer in between. It's a little overwhelming being our first night with three babies home, hopefully we'll get a routine down soon! In the meantime, mom is staying over again to help out (have I mentioned what amazing parents I have?!?!).

I can't finish without saying what an amazing experience we had with the NICU team at University of Michigan. They may have a horrible football team but their medical staff is incredible :-) Everyone was so wonderful, helpful, knowledgeable, etc and we feel very fortunate to have met so many amazing people during our stay. Hopefully we'll see them in the future (just to visit, no more overnights!).

Hope you all sleep well tonight...get a few extra hours for us :-) Happy birthday Ed, I love you lots. Thanks for sharing your birthday with Brooke today.
