Ellie is home!!!

It's 3:13 am, I have only slept a total of maybe 4 hours in the last 68 hours. I am beyond tired but I can't sleep. I could I guess but I have waited so many years to be here in this moment, lying here beside this child of mine that I cannot physically let myself give in to sleep. I can't seem to take my eyes off her. I have memorized every detail of her face, have kissed her head thousands of times. I would know her smell from any other baby. I am learning her sounds and what they mean. I am more tired than I have ever been in my life but I wouldn't change it for anything. I never imagined it would be this wonderful. The only thing better will be when I bring home her sisters on Monday!!!!!!!!

That is right Monday is the big day. Joe, Ellie and I are going to get Gabriella & Carmina and bring them home. It doesn't look like anyone will be coming home on monitors either. Just three beautiful, healthy and maybe just a little small, girls.

God is so good!!!!!!

Tomorrow I will overload you all with some new pictures and new statistics for the girls.

I think I better get some sleep my eyes are pretty heavy, I think she hears me typing and is stirring and will be ready to eat in about two hours. I wish you could hear her little noises, pure bliss...........

This posting was so sweet. Brought tears to my eyes. I'm on three hours of sleep as my two youngest have the stomach bug. Thanks for the new perspective.

That is such exciting news. Hope the other 2 still come home today. Precious little ones like this make those sleepless nights all worth it.

I remember the cute little noises of my twins when they came home from the NICU. At times it sounded like baby sheep and as they got closer to their due date, they found their voices. I am so happy for you. WELCOME HOME Little ones, WELCOME HOME!!!! May God be with you and your family as you adjust to the girls being home and to be fully a family at last. GOD is glorious.

How WONDERFUL! And NO MONITORS - that is awesome! I had 2 on monitors and it was tough. So glad to hear that everyone will be home together really soon. I hope you will be able to get some good (although fragmented) sleep soon. Hang in there! :)

Congratulations. What exciting news. Three beautiful miracles.
I'm so happy for you. I myself am going through infertility treatments. And I can totally relate to what is is to want a child. I am so grateful for modern technology that enables us to use it to have our families. I will start my 5th cycle of IVF in Dec. I am hoping to be blessed with a baby. I have 2 frozen embryos left. I'm hoping that at least one will implant. As this will be my first and only child or two. Bless you and your beautiful family. And to your wonderful mother who with her unconditional love gave you such a beautiful gift.
