Together at Last

So today was a big day! Today was the day that our little family became complete. Today was the last day of traveling back and forth to see our kids. Brooklyn got to come home last Friday and Brody came home today. Justin has completed his 67 days of going to the hospital EVERYDAY, he did have his own little stint there for 3 days. With everything going on with me giving birth, and our kids in the NICU, we were getting ready to go to the hospital Justin's back had been giving him some problems so he was doing some exercises to strengthen his back and it went out. It was so bad he couldn't get off the floor and it took 4 men to carry him out into the living room ( Side note he texted his brother " help I've fallen and I can't get up" so he still had his sence of humor) so that he could get a ride to the hospital in the ambulance. It was a mess. It turned out that his 1 herniated disk turned into 4 over time. Anyway back to the babies. Here are some pictures of their first day home together.
A little sibling love!! She beat him up in the womb, so she didn't want him to forget who's boss.
Dad giving Brooklyn a pep talk that it's not nice to hit her brother. We want him to feel our love not our fists.
Brooklyn in all her glory. She just makes us laugh all the time. She is SOOOO laid back and chill, not much bothers her. When she first came home we started to get worried because she wasn't pooping, and she seemed pretty backed up. Today is has been a poop factory around here. Every time I turn around I hear her pooping her pants, if not her her brother is picking up her slack.

Brody enjoying his bath. I know that it doesn't really look like it, but he loved how warm it was and that his dad kept pouring more warm water on him to make it like a shower.

It's so great to have these two home. Now we are just waiting for their big brother to come visit to have everyone under one roof. I guess I need to work on that.
