All About Henry- Bringing Him Home!

-Introducing Henry to the twins' was a much anticipated event.  I have to say...I got the slowest nurse on my last day at the hospital.  I was SO ready to break out of there, Henry had been discharged, and my nurse was S-L-O-W.  We waited like, two extra hours for her to get my papers straight.  She was old-school and I guess took tons of time with each patient.  Honestly, that's fine.  But I was ready to GO!  She finally came in my room and just looked at our faces, and she said, "You're waiting on me, aren't you?".  We didn't say and word as she backed out of the room and FINALLY got my papers. 
I was wheeled down to leave with Henry, which was nice because I didn't get that with the twins (long story-but we stayed at the hospital after we were discharged for an extra night with Emilynn, so I actually walked out that time).  I wanted to be wheeled out and have my new baby in my lap!!!  It was so sweet, another moment I had been waiting for. 
The drive home was uneventful except my husband has a habit of being a slow driver.  Like, block the left lane at times slow driver.  Sigh.. I finally said, "Could you please speed it up so I can see my babies?"  I had missed the twins so much and could not wait one more minute to see them.  He sped up as requested, then when we arrived home we had to get the camera ready, I didn't want to miss any of the introductions!  We were greeted with balloons on the mailbox and at the house with a sign stating Henry's arrival-courtesy of Aunt Amanda and Poppy (my dad).  My family spoils us so much!

Here are a few pictures of us introducing Henry to his big brother and sister.  I am slightly breaking my rule of no kids' face pics on here....BUT, don't all newborns look the same?  To me they pretty much do.  I assure you, Henry looks NOTHING like those pics now!!


Headed home in the car- isn't that the most adorable hat?  My granny made him two of those that he wore as a newborn.  I loved them and will treasure them always.  The blanket is one that Dustin's grandma made for the twins.  He's wrapped in love!  Literally! 
 
What's in there Dad? 
 
 
Just gazing at her brother. 
 
 
Now Carson's checking him out too.  There was lots of poking and prodding going on. 
 
We probably spent 5 minutes just having them stare and poke at the baby.  It was sweet because they loved him from the start.  After we got him out, I had Henry laying on my chest in the chair.  Carson crawled up there with me and layed his head on my chest too and just stared adoringly right at Henry's little face.  It was the sweetest moment and one I'll never forget.  The bond between brothers must be just as strong as the one sisters share. 
 
And what was Henry's reaction to meeting the twins?????
 
 
EEEEEK!!!!  Is this my family?  :-)
