We're home!!!!

Breckin is home!!!!!!!!! Brooke and I were waiting with anticipation all morning to get permission to leave the NICU. They decided since he has been eating more and hasn't had any more apneic episodes he could go home a day early. We owe a lot of thanks to Nurse Mandy who pushed the doctors to let him go!

Just before leaving the NICU. It was so good to hold him without wires connected.

God is sooooooooo good!!!!!! Praying that your first night together goes well! One little piece of advice from a NICU mom: Keep the lights on and a radio. Micah slept awesome in the NICU, but our first night home he screamed all night long! He was only there 6 days, but he was used to all of the lights/noises. The next night I put a fan by his crib and turned on a lamp, and he slept like a champ! Good luck and enjoy every minute!!!!!!!!!!!! Brooke--you look awesome!

Aww...you keep saying how big he is, but he looks like a tiny, precious bundle of joy to us! We're so glad that you are all home safe and sound. Oh, and if the going gets tough, we're always here with a sympathetic ear. Since we just went through it, we still remember what life is ACTUALLY like with a newborn, not what movies and fond memories are made of. Give us a call anytime. -Dan, Karla, and Georgia

Brooke, you look FANTASTIC! You don't even look like you had a baby! I am so glad that Breckin is able to come home with you. I just saw that you said you were over whelmed on Facebook, know that it is hard the first couple of months but it gets SO much better! There were times when I would cry myself to sleep because I was so overwhelmed!! Life will get back to "normal" and you won't even imagine your life without him!! Praying for you guys.

Our little nephew and cousin,

Breckin, you are a handsome little guy. You are blessed to be born into a wonderful family. The Lashers and Martins are great Christian families to belong to. Your mommy and daddy are great parents to have they love you so much. They will teach you about the GREAT MAN who created you whom we call GOD. He Loves you and So Do we.

Love,

Uncle Brian, Aunt Lisa, Lizzie, and
