Home At Last!

Everything went so well at the hospital that they let me out this afternoon and I'm already at home in my new room! It's much easier updating my blog from the outside, so I'll be posting more photos than normal.

The first one below is of me being held by my Aunt Dawn. Her first name is my middle name! What a coincidence! Daddy says she cried when she found out, but I don't know why. I thing she should be happy about it!

Mommy and Daddy didn't get much sleep last night at the hospital because I kept waking them up when I needed to burp. They called it "gas bubbles" but I know better. They were BURPS!

Granddaddy and Grammy came by to see me and Granddaddy said I was a sweetie and that he was going to take me home with him! Mommy and Daddy said that's not going to happen. Mommy says she spent too much time and trouble getting me here to let me go so easily. Besides, Granddaddy has Cousin Jayme to play with when he gets home!

The first thing Mommy wanted to drink today was a Black Cherry Vanilla Coke! Grammy brought her one from the cafeteria and Mommy says it tasted SO GOOD because it was the first one she's had since January!

The doctors at the hospital gave me a hearing test and I passed with flying colors. Mommy and Daddy must have good hearing, too, because they come running everytime I scream for something!

Then, the doctors gave me an ultrasound test to be sure my kidneys were working properly (Daddy could have told them they were, because he's been changing my diapers!) They said they're in fine shape. THAT'S an answer to PRAYER! Thanks for praying for me!

Finally, they said we could go home and Daddy went to put my new carseat in the car and bring the car around to pick us up. Mommy and I got to ride down the elevator in a wheelchair and Daddy drove us home in the backseat, like we were being chauffered!

You should have SEEN all the PEOPLE waiting in our apartment to see us come home! There was Melissa, Kevin, Laura, Mike, Amy, Rocky, Lauren, Matt, Brad, Crystal, Keira, Andrew, Lily, Rob, Jodie, Ansley, Jon, Kim, Jackson, Misty, Jen and some more people I don't even know yet! Mommy says we've got lots of built-in babysitters on the hall!

Well, it's about time for me to settle down for my first night in my own home, so I'll sign off now. But, keep checking back every day for new pictures!

Happy Trails!

Love,

Abbey Dawn

Dear Abbey,
This is your honorary "aunt," Christina in Richmond, VA! I cannot wait to see you! I can see your momma in you through your expressions! You are such a beautiful girl, just like your momma! I am so glad to hear that your kidneys are fine--I was convinced they would be. Praise the Lord for answering all of our prayers! Give your mom a hug and kiss for me, 'kay? I wish I could be there! I love you!
