Piper is home and is such a little angel. She came home Sunday as planned, along with her best friend....her oxygen, but thankfully for her and us she was able to get rid of that on tuesday afternoon. That night we cleaned her all up, gently peeled off those dratted tapes and got to see her for the first time tapeless, tubeless, and wireless. Those cheeks were everything I imagined them to be.

leaving the hospital, horray!

Our new best friends, Pipers Oxygen and my pump. She is still having issues with nursing so me and my pump have spent alot of time together. Glad to be able to put away at least two of these three machines.

just after her first bath. She's free!

We celebrated Ryan's birthday new years eve by having a surprise birthday party. I had planned this with a friend before all of the baby drama came about (Rachel also had a baby a few weeks ago). Her husband, Tom, also shares Ryan's birthday of New years eve so we planned a ping pong birthday party. They were surprisingly both surprised. I'm a little amazed we pulled it all off.
