We made it home early afternoon yesterday and survived the first night! During our discharge brief they said they wouldn't let us go with a US carseat and a UK car. So we went back and forth about taking him home in our US car (the front seat of a truck, with airbag off of course - not ideal) or borrowing a friends US car or buying a new carseat. We finally talked to more nurses and just had to initial that we understood the laws over here regarding UK carseats. I never thought we were going to leave the hospital!
But we were finally cleared to go. It is fun to finally have him wear his clothes - here he is wrapped in the blanket his grandma made!
Wagner has done well since he came home. He still gets out quite a bit though with grandmom here so that is nice. In the middle of the night he kinda checks to see what is going on when we are moving around but he is making sure he is getting his sleep!
Here is Chase's friend William giving him his first bible. We have also gotten a couple cards from some people in our village. We made it out for a small walk yesterday when the weather was nice.
My friend has been so helpful giving my mom rides to the hospital, letting everyone here know, being a great support and decorating our house to welcome him home. Knowing her definitely gave me peace about coming over early to have the baby here. Thank you so much for everything!

Wow, its certainly sounds like your new adventure has certainly begun in earnest. Stay flexible and the Lord's grace will be sufficient. Take good care of Chase's grandma (I want her back, Chase and Wagner can't keep her).
Dad, grandpop & hubby.
Hi guys!! So glad you are home and getting settled! Thanks for posting the pix of Chase! He is so adorable!!!
You all look so good! I'm sure you are tired and will have several trying moments throughout the next several weeks, but I can honestly say that it just gets better and better! :) I love how Chase looks when his eyes are opened in pictures-it's like he's trying to figure out what the heck is flashing so brightly! :) Also, Charlie (our golden) is glad to hear that Wagner isn't missing any of his beauty sleep!
You guys are so fabulous to post pics and keep on the udpates! Chase is just perfect and I'm so glad y'all are all home safe and sound! Talk to you soon!!
Ashley :)
The pics of all of you are great. Chase can finally wear his airplane clothes! So exciting, but life changing when baby comes home to stay! Get your sleep, Janell when you can. You both will be great parents with the Lord's help. Hi Grandma, give lots of kisses for the babe, and enjoy your time there. xxxooo
