This week brought another surprise: we had been told earlier in the week that Belladia would come home on Friday, but she was allowed to actually come home on Thursday! We have been unbelievably busy since she was released from the hospital, so this is the first chance to update. =)
Bella was up to 5 lbs, 7.5 oz when she was released; Gloriana at the time was 3 lbs, 8 oz. The kids were SO happy to have one of their sisters home – I’m not sure they really knew that they had sisters. Seeing Bella in person helped them realize that we’ve been telling the truth. =)
Here’s a picture from when they first saw her in the hospital lobby.
Daylia has been a very (overly?) committed little mommy to Bella – at every little squeak or whimper, Daylia says, “Ohhh, baby…” in an extremely sympathetic voice. She was also very upset anytime that she had to stop holding her baby sister.
Here are a few pictures of them holding their new sister.
We’re eager to have Gloriana home, too, yet we are thankful that we have a little time to adjust to having just one out of the hospital first. =) Thanks SO much for your prayers – it’s awesome to see how beautifully God has provided for us in allowing for Bella to come home. We’ll continue to keep you updated… and may even add some videos for your to enjoy. God is good, all the time.

Awww, what great pictures! Sabrina loved seeing Kruesie holding Bella, and both of my big girls loved the picture of Kruesie and Daylia laughing :-) Thanks for sharing. ~Karen C.
Jeff and Lisa, they are just beautiful. I am happy to hear that all is going well and the prenatal concerns are not major postnatal concerns. Hope you all are adjusting well. Jenni RN FCC
