Kay is home!

Well, as Craig's friend at work said... Kay is out of layaway! His friend also had a preemie and he said he felt like his child was on layaway somewhere. You are already paying for the baby, but don't get to have it at home with you. I thought that was so fitting for the past few weeks.

Today we had a baby shower for Kay with the Good 'N Plenty gang. This is a group of five families that I have known my entire life. We have taken a Thanksgiving and Labor Day trip together almost every year. All of the kids are now having children of their own so our group is growing. You can see the picture of all the grandma's and their grand kids. It is too bad Kay couldn't be in the picture. She has a lot of playmates! We always make the "stars" of the shower wear something funny or embarrass them somehow. Craig and I got to wear hats that were "tall" and "dainty" like Kay.




We were able to leave the shower and head to the hospital to bring Kay home!! It was a very special moment. Several of Kay's nurses that have taken care of her over the past 10 days stopped by to give her goodbye snuggles. We could tell she was very loved in the nursery. We dressed Kay in the dress that I wore home from the hospital. She looked so cute in it! It was so nice to have our first family photo in front of Kay's welcome home bow. Kay also got to meet her cousin Charlie, aunt Marcia and uncle Scott.
