Not even 48 hours after Debra gave birth to Hannah Lenore, the two of them were cleared to come home.
Colin was excited to have his mother home, but I think his greeting his new sister with a shark in his hand was his way of letting Hannah know who was boss. Hannah was happy to be home to sleep not in a plastic tub, but in her own (well, borrowed—thanks Wendy & Joe!) co-sleeper. Grandma was a hero since she had gifts for everyone when mommy and Hannah got home from the hospital. Hannah spends a lot of time “on” her mother, whether nursing (which is going pretty well, thankfully) or sleeping (or spitting up).
Look at what a big boy Colin is. Wow. And Sweet Hannah. Look at the furrows in her brow. It’s hard work being a newborn, isn’t it?
These pictures help bring me closer. Thank you. I love these people.
