Yesterday, Friday Oct. 5th 2012, I got a surprise call from the hospital. Ruby was ready to come home! I couldn't believe it. I was excited, and a little scared. This girl is so small. Right now she only weighs 4lbs 6oz. A tiny baby doll. I was scared to wake up in the middle of the night alone to feed her, so Chris got up with me. Even though I fed her, he was there for moral support. We did great! We made it through our first night. She is supposed to eat a certain amount. She is supposed to gain weight. That is what I worry about right now. Just keeping her healthy, and getting her to grow.
She was so tiny in her car seat. The straps barely go small enough. Ruby is totally amazing!!
The girls are mesmerized by her! They want to hold her, and look at her all the time. They would rather sit next to their sister and study her, than go and play. They LOVE her! Our baby sister is home, and our family is complete. I feel very happy and blessed today!
On another note.... today I am missing my grandma's funeral. For various reasons, I am still recovering, I can't drive, and Ruby can't be taken out in public. But the sweet thing about today is, that I am home and listening to General Conference with my little family. It is so comforting. What a blessing the gospel is. I just might make it through this yet :)
P.S. When I look at each one of my girls, my eye's fill with happy tears! Oh, how I am blessed!! 3 sweet girls sent from heaven. 3 sweet girls for me to be the very best mother to. I hope they know how much I love them. How much I would sacrifice for them. I am amazed by them.

Well if she isn't the tiniest little cutie in the whole world! I need to come hold her. Are you just loving her to bits and pieces? So fun. I am glad she got to come home and be with your family. You are now complete!
