Hope on the way out of the hospital!

Hope on her first outdoor ride!!

Hope is all buckled in and ready to go home!!!!

HOPE IS HOME!!!! Finally!!!

Hope was so excited to see the sunlight today and feel the breeze on her face for the first time. She is loving her new surroundings. She has settled into her new crib and was sleeping peacefully this evening, glad to finally be at home.

Hope, Mommy & Daddy are still working on getting into a routine and schedule, but hopefully over the next few days everything will work out. Tomorrow Hope has big plans to venture to the screened in porch for a little while!!!

Daily Dose: Thursday, August 20

So much has happened the past few days but no updates. This was partially because Hope's Mommy & Daddy were very busy and couldn't send Aunt Em any pictures. Last night they all had a sleep-over, aka "rooming-in", at the hospital. This was where Hope and her Mommy & Daddy were in a room all by themselves all night. This went very well for everyone so one more thing completed on the way to bringing Hope home.

Hope is scheduled to have her ears and hearing checked again on Monday morning at 9am. We are praying extra hard that there is fluid behind her ear drum that is contributing to the hearing loss and that it will be an easy solution to help her. Please keep Hope in your prayers this weekend.

Hope is checking even more things off her "Going Home" checklist. Today she had the carseat challenge. This is where the contest sits in her carseat for two hours. Hope was an amazing contestant, coming in first place sitting for a record setting 3 hours with no trouble at all. GO HOPE!!!

Hope is also continuing to gain weight. She is now weighing 14 pounds and 14 ounces!!

So for the big news.......

5 days until Hope comes home!!!!
