Goin' home

Here are some pictures from Lillie heading home. Originally when we wanted her birthday to be on 08/08/08, it would go against the grain since Jacob, Owen, & Emma's birthdays are all on the 13th of different months. The funny thing is that even though her bday is on the 8th, she came home on the 13th. For many people 13 is unlucky, but for us it is a lucky number! Miah's soccer number was 13, and his mother was born on the 13th of Feb. :) Just a fun Alcorn fact. We are so glad to have our little one at home. She is doing great, having gone to the doctor on the 14th, and getting a great report. She has already gained back to her birth weight plus some! What a chunk!

Roomin' in

Last night Miah & I got to room in with Lillie at the hospital. We heard she might come home today, which would be great since today is the 13th-the same day her brothers and sisters were born. She has been so good! What a little angel!

Just passin' time

Being at the hospital has been interesting in that it has felt like such a long time that we have been here, but at the same time, it has gone by so fast. Being together has made such a difference-Mimi and Pop Pop dropped off the kids today for a little while so we could all have some family time together. That proved to be super awesome in that we could enjoy our babies, but could stay close to our tiny baby. Let's you know what is important-FAMILY!


I can't even try to explain this one. what a nerd!
Owen really wanted to go see the baby when they called for me to go to the NICU to nurse Lillie. That was so very special that he wants to be with her!
Jake couldn't reach the mirror to see his blue tooth from the rainbow twizzlers daddy had. This was the next best way to show it to him.

More Lillie goodness

Tough guys-Miah thought this was funny to be super tough. I think it is cute!
Jake's interpretation of the tough guy face.

Little hands

We made these shirts for Lillie's arrival. Blue hand for Jacob (favorite color), red hand for Owen (favorite color), and pink with glitter/sparklies for Emma (of course favorite color).

On the back, they had big brother Jacob, big brother Owen, and big sister Emma printed on them. Lillie has one too, but we haven't been able to put it on her just yet. Hoping to have her first picture made in it. :)

Brothers & Sisters

Baby Lillie rounds out the bunch with an even pair of each. 2 boys, 2 girls :)
Owen was a bit upset, not understanding what was going on. Daddy made it better :)
Proud big brother with little sister!
My little handsome thinking about baby sissy.
Emma and I sat in the bed and ate ice chips. She wasn't too concerned with the baby at the moment, but more interested in the ice!

The big day!

Not only the big day, the big momma :)
Angry, angry, angry.. I would be too if I was all comfy and someone did all this to me.
This little angel bundle was delivered to me, of course, those cheekies were the first thing I saw. What a chunka munk! She is so very awesome!
Kind of a weird angle, but here is mommy, daddy, and baby Lillie
Lillie had to have an iv placed in her scalp for fluids/medicine. They later took it out when they put an umbilical line in.
