Home Sweet Home

We've been home for 2 days now and every second seems like a dream. We are enjoying every single minute with our baby girl. She has just done great. She's on her same schedule she was on in the NICU, and so far it's working great. I set an alarm about 15 minutes before she's supposed to get up to warm her bottle because she has lost all the patience she once had. Not that I really need an alarm to get me up because I'm already up. I have probably only gotten 7 hours of sleep total over the last 3 nights but that's my fault because I constantly stare at her just to make sure she's breathing. Every night I get a little more comfortable sleeping when she sleeps, but for the most part Josh and I sleep in shifts. I even have a monitor but I still have to physically check and see for myself that all is well.
She loves all of her stuff, like her bouncer, boppy, play mat, and mobile. She also loves TV! If we're playing with her and she can see the TV we may as well give it up or turn her so that she can't see it. She is memorized by it and it doesn't even matter what's on. Josh is watching Harry Potter right now and so is Avery. I'm afraid something is going to scare her but it hasn't thus far. I guess she doesn't know to be scared of things yet, is why?
She HATES to be hot. She would rather be cold than hot just like her Momma. A few minutes ago she was screaming at the top of her lungs, and I tried to give her "wub", rubbed her head, talked to her all while cooking dinner and nothing was working. When Josh picked her up he said he thinks she's hot so we stripped her down and that's exactly what it was. The minute the pants came off she was just fine and smiling.
She is the sweetest and happiest baby ever. She's always smiling and she listens intently to our every word. This has been such a long road to getting her home but I would go through every day again just to have her here.
