It wasn’t the day that I expected. It was a lot more stressful and emotional than I had planned it to be. It made it all worth it to drive up and see a pink Welcome Home Olivia sign. I still haven’t found out who put that up, but it meant the world to us. Rocking Olivia in her own room is one of the best things in the world. . .even better than sleep which I have had only a few hours of since Friday night. She is the most precious, most wonderful baby in the whole world. . .and she’s finally home with her mom and dad.
Number of months it took to conceive her: 32
Number of weeks I was able to carry her: 23
Number of days spent in the NICU and NSCU: 105
Finally taking her home. . .Priceless

CONGRATULATIONS AND WELCOME HOME!!!!!!!! All of our love and prayers continue to be with you! XO
Well she did it! What an awesome girl! Now the journey can truly begin. Let me know if you need anything (you know like groceries or books!) you're going to be spending a lot of time at home for awhile. Enjoy it and try to get some sleep!

Congratulations! I have to say I choked up reading your blog today. What a miracle baby. She will do great things in her life because she is a strong girl! Welcome home Olivia!
Congratulations to you all!!
It is such a great feeling to have them home. I remember having a million different feelings when the girl's came home. One of them being a "safe" feeling because I never had to leave them again.
Congratulations Olivia! I'm so happy to hear she is finally home.
Best wishes,
Shanon Woolley
