Packing the car and getting two little babies all settled in for the trip home to Tyler took a little longer than I anticipated, but we made it. The two hour car ride wasn't too bad. Neither of the babies really fussed, and for the most part they slept during our rainy drive. Once we arrived home, it was already time for changing diapers and heating milk. As fast as we were moving, it wasn't quite quick enough for Drake and Kennedy, which was a little stressful, but then things settled down.
It is a bit more challenging being at home with just the four of us, than it was at my parents' house. At Gran & Poppy's, we had a greater ratio of adults to babies; here at home we are on an equal playing ground at all times. Our dogs, Harlee & Ella seem to have adjusted nicely to our new additions. They were curious, but they don't seem to act like having them is a big deal. We are hoping to get a bit more sleep tonight, but we know that is probably just wishful thinking.

What a blessing! Home sweet home! The pic of Brian with BOTH babies is perfect. He looks so happy! Many prayers for all of u as u transition into LIFE as a family of four!
ReplyDeleteYeaaaahhhh! Such a blessing to be together at home! You will get so used to the O2 wires that once they come off for good you will still be trying to adjust Drake and your had bags as if they were still attached lol. I know it was crazy whe. I would have to leave the house with baby in tow along with his O2 and apnea monitor on top of it all, but you get used to it really quick. I love Drake's cheeks! I want to just eat him up...so cute and Kennedy's smile is heart melting! I hope you continue to update while t home. I know how difficult it can be and time consuming. You have so many people that care about you all and it is so wonderful to hear when they get first downs! Hope you all have a great week! Many blessings to be thankful for this year! Can't wait to see pics of them dressed up in Thanksgiving and Christmas gear!
