Emma is home!

After a long 3 weeks, Emma is home!!  Thursday night Dan, Emma and I did "family rooming-in" otherwise known as our "supervised trial run."  The three of us spent our first night together in a hospital room next to the NICU. This allowed us to care for Emma without monitors but with doctors and nurses just down the hall.  It was the best place for us during our first night.  Dan and I took turns sleeping so we could keep watch over Emma.  She squeals in her sleep which scares us and at other times she is so still which scares us too.  Last night I was brave enough to sleep for about and hour during my watch.  Actually, I'm not sure if it was bravery or pure exhaustion!  Here are some pics from our big day!

We are so thankful that Emma is healthy and home!  Thank you for all the well wishes!!  She is the most amazing and scary thing I've ever laid eyes on!
