Ashellia is HOME!

Tuesday July 22nd Ashellia came home from the hospital.

Ashellia's last few moments in her hospital crib.

Dressed in a dress her Grandma Byrne gave her.

Preemie size and she still swims in it a little.

lol.

We forgot to take more pics in between hospital and home but

here she is oh so tiny in her bassinet.

I was nervous about her coming home

because I hadn't had much alone time with her

in the 18 days since she was born...

Always a nurse close by and monitors

making sure she was alright and everything.

She is just so tiny

and while she is like a normal term baby

as far as most of her care goes

it just made me nervous because of everything.

But the good news is that so far things are going pretty well.

We are all adjusting relatively well.

Emmalyne is loving her role as big sissy

taking it on more and more now that she has 2 little sisters.

She loves to help with Ashellia,

brining the wipes and a diaper when it's her changing time

and wanting to help feed her sometimes too.

Laurana is fascinated by this baby that is smaller than her,

wanting to hold Ashellia's hand

and for some reason always trying to take her binky out of her mouth.

She had a problem when I tried to use one of the bottles

that she's known to be hers till just recently for Ashellia

but it didn't seem to work out for Ashe

so she doesn't have to worry about that at this point.

She sometimes gets upset when Daddy has Ashe too

because she has become a major Daddy's Girl in the last month or so.

But I think we are helping her to understand a little better

and she will adjust hopefully without much if any jealousy.
