Emma is Home!

We were able to bring Emma home yesterday, and she is so fun and still tiny! Her hospital discharge weight was 4lbs 14ozs. We really are enjoying every moment with our new family of four.
Lilly is an amazing big sister, at the hospital she even let her prized favorite stuffed animal ride in Emma's car seat with her. The nurse was really sweet and let Lilly help her carry the car seat out to the car.I have a feeling Lilly is going to teach Emma a lot :) Lilly lets us know when Emma cries and loves to help change and feed her. Last night she came out of her bedroom to just check on Emma, what a sweetie pie.
I am so very grateful to have experienced adoption for the second time, it is a modern day miracle and I feel so blessed to be mother to these two beautiful special little girls.
This was Lilly's first time ever holding her baby sister, you can see the delight in her eyes. It was such a tender moment for all of us and I can hardly believe that it is real, I feel so lucky.
