Because of this...
I am tired!!!
On Wednesday, Owen and I were released from the hospital. My blood pressure is still having issues (much to my frustration). So I have to take some extra meds for the next 6 weeks. Hopefully things will go well, and I'll be cleared soon. Baby Owen is surprisingly great since he was so early. His biliruben levels crept up during the day he had been home, so now he is under the lights. He does NOT like being in that hard bed, and did not sleep well during the night. I was up most of the night, reassuring him that I was indeed closeby. He looks so cute and tiny in there, but we are hoping that his levels are good today so that he doesn't have to go back to the hospital.
Our other kids are so happy and excited that Owen is home. Since he's been in his tanning bed, the kids haven't been able to snuggle and hold him, but they did get to do that for the whole day before...

Katelyn got up early, and literally RAN to my room to snuggle with this little guy. Kate loves his head, and has to rub his head with her cheek ALL the time.
This girl is so in LOVE with her new baby brother. She has been a great help, and LOVES to hold him any chance she can get.
This one isn't SO sure about having a new brother. She loves to "see" him, but hasn't been so gentle with this little guy. She is facinated with him, we just have to keep a close eye on these two. Emmy is a little "rough" with Owen. She is probably just trying to teach him the ropes as she was so carefully taught by her brother Spence.
Doesn't this look like a proud big brother? Spence told me that he is going to teach his brother all sorts of things like how to play Wii and throw a ball and play with batman.
This was his "going home" outfit. He was bundled up all warm and snuggly. So cute!
This is him "waking up" right before the ride home. He had been so sleepy with all the meds I was on before that, I had to quickly capture his "waking" up.
Camille insists on snuggling him like this. This kid is lucky to have such great older siblings. Though my kids are a little further apart in age than I would have liked, at this point, I love that I have older girls to help my little ones.
I am definitely happy to be home, hopefully things will slow down enough for me to enjoy the time I have home with this precious little guy.

oh my gosh!
camille and him are twins...
he's so little.
and, i totally sympathize with you on the lights. we had to go through 3-4 days of that. and, norah hated being in there too..
it's hard to sleep with neon light in your room.
Too bad your girls don't get to stay home six weeks with you and the babe!!
You're going to lose all that good help come Monday morning... :-/
I sympathize with you, no sleep around here also. We had Sydney on the light blanket for 5 days. Hope you can get some rest soon.
I agree w/ Caroline...Owen looks SO much like Camille...crazy! Especially since the other three look alike. Congrats!
