Home Sweet Home

Much to our surprise, we were released from the Hospital on Wednesday and were able to come home for the first time as a family. Equally as pleasant of a surprise yesterday was the fact that Nonna (Abbie's Mom) decided she would remain in Baton Rouge to lend a helping hand for Mom and Dad and love on Kate. Originally Nonna planned on returning to Florence, Alabama on Wednesday and flying back down to Baton Rouge on Monday (November 9th) to help out once Nick went back to work. But this is much better. Nonna will remain through the weekend of November 14th when Poppa will return for Kate's Baptism.

We were very sad to see Poppa, Aunt April, and Aunt Anna leave, but were very excited and thankful to have them with us this week. The support they were able to provide will not be forgotten and will forever be appreciated.

Also a special thanks to the tremendous staff at Woman's Hospital. They were wonderful with Kate and Abbie.

As for the true star of this blog, our sweet little Kate continues to leave us breathless. We are blessed with a healthy little girl and we think she is absolutely beautiful and perfect. It is like we have known her our entire life and love her more than life itself. Everyone told us that this would happen, but seeing is believing.

Thanks to all for the well wishes, prayers, and support. We will continue to keep you posted through the blog.

Now for some of the latest pictures:
