Emma is HOME!

This will be a really brief post, as Daddy and I are EXHAUSTED! But Emma Elizabeth is home, snug in her bed, with us in Incline. We are so blessed! So far she is an excellent sleeper and eater, and cries very little. Thursday we have our first doctors appointment and until then we are just trying to get to know each other.

We are so beyond happy to have our daughter home with us and know in our hearts that she is here and healthy because of the prayers and well wishes of you all! We will never forget it! I'll write more later (right now its all about the Temperpedic!) but for now, thank you to each of you for your support and for loving us and our baby girl!

Love,

Matt, Sara and Emma

No More Tubes!!

Well, the picture says it all but our baby is feeding tube free!!! Yeah! This means that every time she eats, its via bottle only. As of yesterday she was being fed every three hours but today they upgraded her to ad lib, which means while they will try and keep her somewhat to that 3 hour time frame, she will eat when and as much as she wants, when she wants. This is potentially a HUGE development because at this point, there is nothing that the hospital can do for her that we can't do at home. Essentially now we will just wait and make sure she continues to gain weight, so we should have a better idea of when we can go home soon!

We have been so blessed as besides being preemie and small, Emma has had no real health issues. We know that's because we have so many amazing friends and family members rooting and praying for her! Keep them coming! We may be doing a post from home soon!

Love,

Matt, Sara & Emma
