We're Home!!!

We're home!
The nurses at the hospital were super awesome about getting us processed today so that we could bring Gwen home to meet her big brother. We got a clean bill of health from Gwen's pediatrician and Emily's doctor, so we got to head home exactly 24 hours after Gwen was born.
Gwen had a great night of sleeping, only waking up to eat every 3 hours or so. And she is going a good job of eating, so that is such a blessing. We spent most of today just hanging around the recovery room and bonding with Gwen. Here I am getting some quality skin-to-skin contact with Gwen.

Our friend Luke is a chaplain volunteer at the hospital, so he stopped by to meet Gwen and congratulate us.
We got some very fun gifts send to the hospital.
We're on our way home! Same car seat and Gator blanket that Cole went home in 16 months prior.
Michael, my Chick-fil-A partner in crime, stopped by on his way home from work to meet Gwen and to drop off an awesome gift basket from all the people at Chick-fil-A.
Our first family picture!
