A year ago today, Olivia Adele came home from the NICU on her 80th day!

Homecoming Outfit!

 Bathtime!

All dressed and ready to go!

In her car seat, ready to head home!

Before heading out the double doors as a family of THREE!!! BEST feeling in the WORLD!!

 In the car!

The picture I texted everyone as we were heading home for the first time!

Congrats flowers from Mom and Dad Lawless

I'll NEVER forget how I felt in this pic! It was AMAZING having our girl home with us!

Jer & Olivia sleeping on the couch the first night. I don't think any of us had EVER slept so well!!


The Next Day... 
The first saturday I spent at our house since BEFORE Olivia had been home!

 Last time wearing our hospital bracelets before FINALLY cutting them off!!!!!

 GREAT feeling cutting them off!! 

Happy Homecoming Olivia Adele! I can't believe you have ONLY been home a year, it feels like you have ALWAYS been with us. SO SO SO proud to be your mama!!!

I am a fellow NICU mom with a baby boy that came home after 147 days in the NICU. He wasn't born premature, but he was born not breathing or moving. They told us he wouldn't live a week, and here we are just under 10 months old and going strong. I understand the strain you both where under, I understand the devastation that you must have felt, but look at your little girl now. She is beautiful and strong and those 80 days she spent in the NICU saved her life. So congrats on making it a year...I cant wait for our year in March of 2013.
