Emma's 1st Night Home

Emma had a wonderful first night home. We are wondering if the car ride wore her out because she slept most of the day and night yesterday. When we got home Nana and Paw Paw brought us some KFC for lunch and we hung out. After lunch Daddy and I decided we should take advantage of Emma sleeping and get some sleep ourselves. We all ended up getting in a nice 3 hour nap. After getting up and hanging out for awhile Daddy and I decided that we needed to eat dinner. Since we don't have any food in the house and I neither one of us wanted to leave Emma to go and get groceries we ordered Papa John's for dinner. A top priority will be getting to the store at some point to get groceries - only problem is that it is so hard to leave her and we are keeping her away from crowds right now so she can't go to the store with us. After dinner Daddy and I caught up on some DVR while Emma enjoyed her swing. The swing is something we have learned that she loves. We then headed to bed around midnight after giving her a bottle. Emma then slept for 5 hours, woke up and ate, and then slept for another 4 hour stretch. She allowed Daddy and I to get some nice sleep since that has been hard to do for over a month while she was in the NICU. This morning Daddy is busy working on getting caught up on homework since the semester is coming to an end and he is a bit behind from being at the hospital so much. Mommy has been taking care of some stuff around the house. Here shortly I need to head to CVS and pick up Emma's multivitamins with Iron since she is a breast milk baby. Then otherwise we are just hanging out and enjoying our time at home. Tomorrow Emma has her first appointment with her pediatrician and she is getting shots. Her follow up appointment with Dr. Kane her surgeon in Friday May 21st and her Neonatal follow up appointment is scheduled for Monday November 1st.
I am hoping to get pictures put up at some point today, but am not making any promises. We live on Emma's terms here and we will have to see if she gives me a stretch to get the pictures loaded on the computer and then on to the blog.
God Bless and keep up the prayers for Emma!
