---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

By the end of the first week we had our schedual down pat. By the second week it was like second nature.  We could do it in our sleep.  We would get up in the morning and get our baths then feed Emily. After she was fed, we dressed her got in the car and headed to my mom's house. We would drop her off at my mom's so that we could go to the hospital and visit Hope for a few hours. When we arrived my mom was out in the garden planting flowers as usual. My mother loved flowers and was always working in her garden. She saw us and got up and brushed herself off.

 "Hey mom you ready to spend some time with your eldest grandbaby while we visit your other one?"

 "Yeah of course and how is this little one doing today?"

 "She is doing great we got to hurry and go Hope might get to come home today. It's weigh in day and if she is at least five pounds she will get to come home!"

 "Okay dear, well call me and let me know okay."

 "We will don't worry be, back later."

A kiss on Emily's forehead and off we were. We got back into the car and rushed to the hospital. I was so excited to see if she would get to come home!

"So are you excited?" Damian asked as we pulled into our parking spot. We had  claimed this spot for the last month waiting on Hope to finally sit in the empty car seat that matched her sisters.

"Duhhh! I am super excited babe! Are you?"

"Yeah, but I am not getting my hopes up I know she might not have gained all her weight."

"But she was so close last time I just know that she gained it!" Nothing could drag my mood down today. In the back of my mind I knew I would be crushed if she didn't come home today. I have been looking forward to this for weeks. She made it through surgery and healed well. She was. Coming home today I just knew it.

"Okay, lets go before you bust." He seemed in good spirits too, but never letting his hopes go to far.

He took my hand and we went into the hospital. After a long walk down the hall and a slow ride up the elevator. We finally made it. I stepped out the elevator onto the baby blue and baby pink carpet and started making my way down the hall. I could hear the nursery rhyme playing though out the hall letting everyone know a baby was born. I could see the beautiful pictures and pastels decorating the walls. My heart was beating a million miles an hour and my stomach felt like it was in my trough. I knew the way to the nursery so well but this time it felt like everything was new to me. I was about to turn the corner to go to the NICU when a nurse got my attention.

"Harper!"

"Oh hey Katie just coming to check on Hope, what are you doing?"

"I just moved her to the regular nursery she made weight today she is going home!"

"EHHHHHH" I screamed in the middle of the hall. I couldn't control myself anymore I just needed to see her right now.  I basically ran down to the nursery with Damian close behind me.  I know I was embarrassing him running through the halls like a child, but I could care less, it was time to bring my baby home with me.  I finally reach the door and found my precious Hope.  They had her bathed, dressed, and ready to go. The outfit was a pretty pink dress with flowers adoring the waistline. It's the same one we brought Emily home in, but a size smaller. While Emily was fitting nicely into newborns and a couple 0-3 months, Hope still looked small in preemie clothes, but she was defiantly bigger now and coming home.
