Home At Last!

Lorelei came home this morning! Finally....

We are all very excited about that of course. We got the news that she might be coming home this past friday morning. She was doing so well with her bottle feedings that they had taken her feeding tube out! Good news and we finally got to see her face without anything attached to it! Yesterday they reserved the family room for us. The family room is a room in the hospital where you can stay as parents of a newborn in preparation for her coming home. You can even spend the night there if you want.

This (beautiful :-)) picture was taken there last night. Lisa had been in the hospital with Lorelei all day. Tobias and I had prepared the house for her coming home. We put up the play-pen and her cradle and her toys :-). We all spent some time in the hospital family room together and had dinner there. Then Tobias and I went back home to go to sleep and Lisa spent the night with Lorelei in the family room.

This morning Tobias and I went to pick them up. Right now we are all sitting/laying together in our living room. Lorelei is in the play-pen (see picture...), Tobias is watching some TV in the couch and Lisa is resting/sleeping on the couch. I am typing this while sitting by the play-pen en looking back and forth from Lorelei to my computer screen :-)

Oh, today is going to be even more festive because we expect Nonny, Opa and Oma to arrive any minute now... Opa and Oma went to pick up Nonny from the airport because we were busy getting Lorelei home. Very nice for us of course! Nonny will be staying with us for a few weeks (until just after the new year). I am sure she will be having a great time because she has one beautiful granddaughther! This will probably easily make up for the unfortunate fact that Lorelei's prematurity made her miss the birth and seeing her daughter pregnant.... (I hope anyway...).
