We have decided that very good things happen for us when it rains... The wedding, bridal and baby showers, and Allison's continual progress have all been accompanied by some sort of rainy weather. So, it only seems fitting that we finally got to bring our baby girl home on Monday after nearly a week of precipitation! Everyone at the NICU said that preemie girls are especially tough and generally make it home quickly, but we were still surprised to hear over the weekend that Monday marked Allie's 5th day without any apnea spells and her 2nd day nippling all of her feedings. Overcoming these obstacles meant that she could be discharged! As difficult as it was to leave her in the NICU every day, we know that she is as healthy as possible and that we are more prepared to care for her than if she had been full term. Now she just has to grow!! She's already put on 6oz in the last 2 days!! Soon she should actually meet the minimum requirements of her car seat... Here are some pics of her first days at home.

Bath time isn't my favorite...
Finally, someone that's smaller than me!
