After 100 days in the NICU, Avery finally came home! We are so excited and yet a little anxious at the same time. So far she's doing well, typical newborn behavior. She sleeps like a champ all day long, not so much at night, but we're learning something new everyday and working on the nighttime routine. Reflux is not fun to deal with...I thought Caroline spit up a lot as a baby, but Avery does more than I ever remember Caroline doing. We go through several clothes, blankets, burp cloths, etc each day. Luckily she does not seem to mind noise at all, when the whole family is here, there are not many quiet moments in the house.
Caroline absolutely loves her, the first thing she wants to do when getting home from daycare is hold Avery (after washing her hands at least of course.) Caroline kisses Avery on her head and even offered to share her favorite pink blanky with her baby sister. She wants Avery to call her "sissy" like Margo calls Madeline. Caroline also enjoys putting dirty diapers in the diaper champ and putting Avery's paci in her mouth when needed or not needed.
Travis noticed there were only a handful of kids in Caroline's class at daycare Friday, the teacher told him something was going around. So we weren't too surprised when Caroline had diarrhea Friday night and Saturday followed by a fever. Now we are praying Avery doesn't catch anything as we take care of our big baby.

Love the pictures...Caroline looks like one happy big sister! Hope she is feeling better soon and keeps her germs to herself!
It's so nice to see pictures of these sweet girls in their matching shirts. I know Caroline will be a good big "sissy" to Avery. Hope things continue to go well and hope Caroline feels better soon. Tell her Aunt Gina is sending her some Valentines treats with Grandma tomorrow.
I can't wait to see those girls close up and personal. Please tell Caroline to be well! They are so precious.
