Welcome Home Jacob!!

After exactly 3 months, we brought Jacob home on December 17, weighing just over 6 lbs.  He more than tripled his birth weight!

Bringing him home was so happy and emotional.  We had been dreaming of the moment for so long.  We were happy to have the chance to say goodbye to our favorite nurse when rooming in, and also get to have his first two nurses walk us out and say goodbye as we left the NICU for the last time.  We have had so many wonderful nurses taking care of Jacob in the NICU, and it was extra special to have the nurses who took care of him in his roughest times also be there for such a joyous day.

Big Brother and Sister welcome Jacob Home

All three kids at home!

Jacob is doing very well and we still can't believe how blessed we are to have him home.  It is so nice to be sitting around at home with the whole family and to wake up with Jacob next to us, rather than having to say goodbye to Luke and Katherine and to rush off to the NICU for the first morning feeding.

Throughout this long journey, we have been thankful for all the support from our family and friends, and most of all thankful to God for protecting Jacob and bringing him home to us.

"May the Lord answer you when you are in distress; may the name of the God of Jacob protect you."
Psalm 20:1
