After nine days in the NICU we finally went home today. We're so thankful to the doctors and nurses - everyone, really - at Alta Bates Hospital for taking such amazing care of our precious daughter... and us too! We've learned a ton about being parents and taking care of a baby from our NICU nurses so bringing Charlotte home feels right. Nice to know we wont have that "Now what?" moment so many new parents experience.
Thanks to our family and friends for all the support over the past week plus. Nothing ever happens exactly to plan, especially for us, but having Charlotte 5 weeks early was a surprise to say the least. A wonderful, amazing surprise at that too!
We'll keep posting more photos here on the blog so you can watch her grow with us. In the meanwhile, enjoy the photos below the fold!
