After 3 months...


Carli came home on Thursday the 29th. We are so excited she is home. Ave and Bo are such BIG helpers. They run in and check on her when she fusses to make sure she's ok. Ave likes to pick out her outfits and Bo wants to hold her all the time. The last few nights Ave told her bed time stories with stuffed animals, he even did different voices for the different animals.
She came home on an apnea monitor which is actually a relief to me, if she wasn't on the monitor i don't think i could sleep or get anything done.
I just love this pict of Ave and Carli. He's such a great big brother!

Oh! She is a doll!! So so so so cute! Good job Avery, what a good big brother you are. I'm so happy for you mom, your family is together again!

Congratulations sweetie! I can't imagine how excited you are to have her home! Is she doing good? In good health overall?
How big is she now? Is she eating real well, or do you have to wake her up to feed her?
Sorry about all the questions. I'm just curious!
Enjoy your sweet little girl!

We are so happy for you guys! I bet Avery is a wonderful big brother. Carli looks like a little baby doll in that photo!

Yeah!!! I'm so glad! I know what you mean about the monitor being a relief! When they took Sam's away (after three months), that's when I stopped sleeping! Good luck with everything and let me know if you need a break and I can take Bo again.

Oh, and I got the gown pattern as well as a box of donated material from my mom. She said that you are welcome to use as much of the material as you'd like. Let me know if you want me to drop it off or what!
