She's home!

Anna Kate came home from the NICU today...after only 13 days in the hospital! I always knew she was my little miracle. She won't even be 36 weeks gestation until tomorrow! So far she is doing great. I have to wake her every 3 hours to eat, but the NICU team felt confident enough in my abilities as a mother and as a nurse to take her home. The only thing that sucks is that Trav has to leave tonight on another Reno trip. There was no one else to take the truck. He then proceeded to tell his boss that he needed ALL of next week off, so I can at least look forward to that. Here is my baby in her first car seat ride!This was the loot that I left the NICU with...my nurse hooked me up with all kinds of goodies!
Grandma Joyce spoiled Anna last night...here are all of the great gifts she bought for her. If you don't notice, Anna's in the middle! ;)
Until we get our nursery furniture, this is the cradle Anna gets to sleep in. The cradle has been in Trav's family for 5 generations!
Getting to know the cradle...
Wish me luck on the first night home with my little peanut! My mom's coming down to help me so I don't have to do it alone...what would we do without moms?

P.S. I changed my blog for fall, but I can't decide if I like it...what's your vote?
