Homecoming

I'll never forget the look on Nina's face when she came through the door. Mirko, Lola and I had come home from the hospital about an hour before. Nina had spent the day with Mirjana and her family, and they all came over to drop Nina off. Nina rushed in very excited, her eyes darting back and forth between my belly and Mirko holding little Lola. "Is she out?!" Nina asked.

Nina and Lola, sisters together at last.

You can't see it, but Nina is wearing her "I'm a big sister" shirt sent to her by Lucia.

The girls.

First family photo.

Mirjana truly deserves some extra special recognition. She arrived at our house on Friday night at midnight to watch Nina when we had to rush to the hospital. Nina spent the next two days at her house, but Mirjana still managed to visit me in the hospital Saturday evening bringing dinner and champagne. When she dropped off Nina on Sunday, she again brought dinner, flowers, and champagne but also filled our fridge with a couple days more food. She was amazing, and we are incredibly blessed to have a friend like her!

Nina seems to be adjusting nicely to the new addition and taking her big sister role seriously.....

making sure Lola's chair is properly "stabilized" ...

and that she has adequate entertainment.
