Home is sweet

Getting ready to leave hospital

In the car seat for first time-getting ready for long drive!

It was so exciting getting Lauren home.  Of course her sisters screamed, squealed, and giggled for days.  I believe Lauren is on kiss #million from her sisters.  It's amazing how involved and concerned they are with her.  They discuss things so openly with me about her condition, scars, and ostomy. 

The day after we got home we went to her primary physician who did a total check.  All along her hospital journey they had been sending faxes to her doctors office so they knew exactly what was going on...when we got there, which was refreshing.

Later that day me and the girls gave Lauren her first bath at home.  She hated it at first, but then got the hang of it and really enjoyed it.  Peyton helped me wash, while my little photographer took tons of pictures.  Only a few are here for you (Taylor really does go crazy with the camera:)

After her bath her nanny and Aunt Gina came by for a visit.  It was so nice to have them hold Lauren.  When they saw her in hospital she wasn't able to be held or was on an external drain.  She just stared and stared at their faces, then would crash out in their arms.  Very sweet...  Linda and Gina helped out tremendously with the girls while I was in the hospital.  I will forever be grateful for their generosity.
