Home with All my Little Chicks!

All together at last!

Today was Mason’s 10th day of life in the NICU and was my due date. It’s been a whirlwind of learning, growing, and more learning.

 He’s done really well, is healing from both surgeries.

We got to come home today and we are so happy to be here.

The children surprised us with these sweet decorations and a batch of homemade no-bake cookies to enjoy. Yum! 

I’m trying to snuggle down and nest with my little chicks around me. Our plan is to stay home and be a family. We’re not wanting visitors right now because we’ve missed each other so much and need time to find a new family groove.

Grateful to God for the many blessings we’ve seen in the last 10 days!

    What a beautiful family, Tristan!! Mason is just a cutie! So glad that he's doing well and only had to spend 10 days in the NICU! (Although it seemed like forever, I'm sure!)

    Looking forward to hearing how he heals & grows and fits into your family!!!!

    We were in the NICU for 5 weeks before we went home, glad you only had to do 10 days.
