Welcome Home Jacob!

After 52 days in the NICU, Jacob was released to come home on July 23rd - my 27th birthday! It was definitely a birthday I will never forget and the best present I could ever get! Mimi and Uncle Chase had made the trip to Memphis to help out. It was definitely a very busy weekend... The boys were at their first Memphis gun show with their new company Patriot Defense Arms, while Mimi and I worked frantically to put the finishing touches on Jacob's room! Saturday after the gun show, everyone hurried to the hospital to pickup Jacob!

In Jacob's Room before we head out! Jacob with his very special blanket made by Jacob's Great Aunt Gayle!

One of our favorite nurses, Karen. She said we had to go home the "right way" -- she went and got a wheelchair and took me for a "chariot ride" around the NICU to say our goodbyes and then on to the car!
