Finally Home



What an amazing week! Wednesday we were able to get custody. Praise the Lord! I haven't updated since then because I've been at the hospital. This is Halle's crib card. How exciting it was to see our name on there!



Gramee and Grampee were her first visitors at the hospital after we got custody. We had lots of fun, and Halle decided to wake up and be sociable. She was so alert!





We took turns at the hospital, holding Halle and watching her. She needs lots of holding and comforting to help with the withdrawals. You can tell we were really disappointed about that!












We were really hoping and praying that she would get to come home on Saturday. Praise the Lord, she was allowed. This is right before we loaded her up in the car seat (which she really hates!).





Finally home! What an emotional homecoming this was.
Halle had a very big day! She slept all afternoon, and stayed awake most of the night. We're hoping to get that turned around sometime soon!!!
Mary Kay and Nathan were our first visitors after we got home. She brought us supper last night. What a blessing! Nathan wasn't too impressed with Halle. He wasn't interested until he saw Aunt Niki holding her....then he was mad!










Halle's first Sunday at home was pretty calm. Rick and Janelle and the girls came over. Janelle played the piano at church today since both of our pianists had babies this week! Thanks, Janelle. The kids were so cute with Halle.



Maddie, Aunt Niki and Halle.
