Sam, Terri & Hank in VA

Mamma I'm Coming Home






Here are pics from Saturday morning, discharge day at the hospital for Mom and Roxy. Look at how small she is in the car seat! The hospital was great, it was really part hospital and part hotel, really nice people and cool amenities like a kitchen full of snacks, nice rooms with good closet space, and unlimited table massages for all new fathers. Ok I made that last part up but you're with me on how cool that would be, right? It's been a fast and intensely eventful 3 days, but we couldn't be more thankful and happy for how smoothly everything went. We feel totally lucky about that and for having 3 of 4 grandparents here with us during Roxy's first days. Hank is excited to have her home with him and is already starting to figure out his new role as big brother and a member of a 4-person family. In some ways it's sad that his days as only child and sole owner of the spotlight are over. But it's also really fun seeing the protective, caring side come out right away. He wanted her to lay next to him right away when she came in the front door.

So Terri will miss the on-demand food and nursery care at the hospital, but not the vital checks every 15 minutes throughout the night. She's healing well, looking forward to getting back to full strength. Take care and thanks again for all the messages. S T H & R

  • Would it sound crazy if I said that Hank is really already looking like an older, more grown-up boy?! Like, since I saw him five days ago. It's amazing how big brotherhood will age you! :)

    I can't get enough photos of this family! Keep 'em comin'!
