29 Wisecracks:
May I be the first to say "Welcome home Darbi welcome home"! As the mother of a 27 weeker, and a little girl with a heart transplant (Mercy's cousin) I know the thrill of bringing your girl home. Enjoy the moments they go far too fast. BTW by the second night I was ready to throw the monitor out the window. May you fair better then I.

Hey, are you busy or somethin'? I thought about calling you at 4 this morning, but I figured on the off chance that you MIGHT be sleeping, that I would let you continue :)
Yay!! That is so exciting! She is one amazing little girl. I hope all the adjusting goes well.
Audrey,
I am a friend of Steve and Clerissa Lewis and found your blog link on theirs. I have kept track of Darbi and her progress from up in the NICU. I am a volunteer with the Parent Support Group at the NICU and first saw Darbi when she was only a few days old. Two weeks ago (on a Tuesday) when I went to help pass around gifts, she was in the same bed that my son Sam was in before coming home. I was so excited to see her look so healthy and wide awake. And then when I went two days ago and saw that she was home I nearly cried for joy. Congratulations! I can't tell you how happy I am for you. Best of luck with EVERYTHING!
