Welcome Home Baby

The littlest Clappstar is home. After nearly a week she is out of the hospital and doing everything just perfect - breathing, eating, sleeping, yawning, crying, even pooping. She is just more than we could have ever imagined. The doctors are amazed at her speedy recovery from a rough case of Meconium Aspiration Syndrome.
Over the last two days, she has taken all her feeding from Robyn and been completely stable without supplemental oxygen. She didn't mind the tube, but they took it out last night after a couple successful feedings (tube-free).
Robyn and Estella were tired of the hospital, so this afternoon, after getting the all clear, the doctor discharged us. So we walked down the long hallways at Children's Hospital with our new baby, out to the car and drove away. When we got home we thought the first thing we'd do with our miracle baby was a walk outside to introduce her to the world. Baby Estella was so happy to come home to the smell and sight of beautiful flowers and two distressed kitties.
