Callen and I were discharged from the hospital yesterday. We were very excited to get to come home and all be under the same roof. While we waited for the pediatrician to come in and check Callen out one more time and give us the ok to head home, Carter was very into checking out and loving on Callen while she slept in her bassinet.
Once we got the okay from the pediatrician, we loaded up to head home with our family of four!
Carter was very excited to have a partner in crime riding in the back seat with him. Nick said that on the way to the hospital, he kept pointing to the infant seat, saying "Callen's car seat." As you can see, he was pretty happy to have her along for the ride.
We got home and managed to take a few pictures of our recently expanded family. Of course, none of them were perfect...getting Carter to both look at and smile for the camera proved to be rather difficult. He was far more concerned with trying to get into the backyard so that he could play basketball.
For her trip home, Callen wore the same gown that Carter wore home from the hospital. The gown was lovingly made by my sister-in-law and mother-in-law and has beautiful smocking with a W on the chest.
We are slowly transitioning into life at home with a newborn again

Great post Sue, Welcome Home!!!
I'm so glad that y'all are settled at home. Carter appears to be a fantastic big brother. I can tell he loves "my Callen" very much.
Can't wait to see y'all!
Love,
Aunt B
I wanted to ask about the big brother book you got for Carter. Who is the author... I have seen several but this one sounds like it really helped. I was thinking we could get one for Luke. Looks like you are all doing very well. Such an adorable family. So happy you are home!
Such sweet pics! Hope being at home is great and y'all are settling into a new routine!!
Oh my goodness, reading this post and seeing the pictures brings back such wonderful sweet memories of our first car ride home with our little family of 4! It was so neat to see MM interact with her new sister and trying to "show" her EVERYTHING (which was hilarious for a 2 1/2 year old). Man, it seems like just yesterday! When we first walked in the doors at our house, MM (and we helped) wanted to show Anna around her new house and all of MM's toys! It was too cute - I just wish we could relive those quiet moments again!
