Kelly, Louis, and Ruby

Our baby girl arrived 8 weeks early on July 7th, 2008 weighing just 3 pounds 3 ounces. After 33 long days in the NICU, Ruby finally came home with us and the fun began. We are one blessed family.

Home

We are back at home and doing great! The trip up North to visit Louis's grandfather went wonderfully! We left for the trip at 9pm last Saturday. We did the drive at night so Ruby would be less stressed, since she'd be sleeping most of the time. We also avoided traffic and heat. Thankfully Ruby did great and we made the journey in 7.5 hours, and her alarm did not go off once =)

Louis and I were so happy to be able to introduce Ruby to her great grandfather, and the rest of Louis's family. Ruby handled the new environment pretty well, but had a few meltdowns which is unlike her. But we understood that meeting everyone and being in a new place can be stressful, and were very proud of how great she did.

We stayed until Monday, and came home with a new fall wardrobe for Ruby and an extra 5 pounds from all the food we ate! It was hard to leave, but we know we will be back to see everyone soon.
