So Liana came home yesterday!! We got her here at 4:30 and then the fun began. We have gone through so many diapers and it only takes 4 feedings for both girls to completely fill up our sink with bottles. It is crazy.
When I woke up this morning, I walked in to see my two beautiful babies in their cribs. I just kept smiling. I have waited so long for this. God has given me the most wonderful gifts. We prayed so hard for these two girls, as many of you did too, and we have seen God fulfill a promise in our lives. We went from the doctors saying that we might want to consider taking Liana off life support to having her in our house eating like a champ, breathing on her own, and completely normal despite what the doctors say about her brain bleed. Then we prayed hard for Adleigh to have her tummy better and just two weeks ago Adleigh had major tummy surgery and we thought it would be forever before she came home. But God once again showed us how much He loves us and let that be the last hurdle she needed to jump over.We are officially out of the hospital with Adleigh being there 97 days and Liana 98. I just want to say thank you to my heavenly father for holding me during those times that I wasn't sure if I could handle it and impressing on my heart that my girls would be completely fine even when their situations looked bad. My God is so amazing.
Now I know you want some pics. So here is Liana coming home:
Here is our first family shot.
And a close-up of our precious babies.
I had a video but blogspot is sweating me and not letting it post so I will try again later.
