Easter Hatch

Landon was officially discharged on Easter Sunday. But before his discharge, NICU had to complete all sorts of paperwork.

Additionally, Landon had to take his hospital picture (which is posted here and also on the Torrance Memorial Hospital website). Landon was supposed to take his picture on Saturday but the staff forgot about us. They normally don't take pictures on Sundays but since it was their mistake, they sent a volunteer to the hospital to take Landon's picture anyways. If you are wondering why the collar of his shirt looks wet it's because it is. Just as we were about ready to take this picture, Landon spit up all over his collar...hence the dark wet spot on the right side. Of course that would happen....

Anyways, we ending up having a late discharge and didn't get home till 5:30pm Easter night. Although we spent Easter alone without family, it was nice to come home to an empty, quiet house and just spend time with just the 3 of us- no hospital stuff, no monitors, etc. I've attached his picture for his car ride home.

When we drove up to our home, it was cutely decorated by our dear friend Amy. It was such a special surprise and such a warm welcoming home. Thanks Amy Beth!!!

Let's just say that we were officially "welcomed" into parenthood that evening.....
