Coming home

After about a week in the hospital I was discharged Sunday 1/3/10 but Bella had to stay behind in the NICU. It was very hard to leave her there. We went to visit her yesterday 1/4/10 and when we arrived to our surprise the nurse said Bella was doing so well that she was being discharged. We were so happy. It was very cold out so she didn't get to wear the outfit we had planned for her to wear, not to mention she probably couldn't fit into it anyway. All her clothes are so big on her. She did get to wear some very special booties home however. The blue, bunny booties she is wearing were knitting by one of my father's relatives and he wore them home from the hospital 56 years ago when he was born. I wore them home from the hospital as well almost 27 years ago and so did my sister almost 25 years ago. It was very special for Bella to be able to wear them home as well.
