Yay! Emily is home!

Emily passed the Car Seat Tolerance Test and is home with us now! She passed the test using the preemie car seat and it just seems SO big for her little tiny body. She has lost weight (always happens in the first week after birth) so she is down to 5 lbs 7 oz. She was born at an even 6 lbs. She needs to return to her birth weight in 10-14 days. She has a checkup at the pediatrician's office on Friday.

Meanwhile, Ryan is going for his 1 year checkup this afternoon. He will have immunizations and we will be told the changes we can make to his diet (i.e. we can introduce whole milk, etc).

We are SO happy to have both of our kids safe and healthy and HOME. Thanks for all the extra prayers.

Love,
Becca, Shane, Ryan, and Emily

Yeah!! So so glad!!! What type of carseat did you have to get? What a relief to be home with your family and be able to do what you want to do and get back in the swing of things!! Let me know when you are up for a quick hello!
