The Homecoming - Sunday 19th April - 3 days old (Just!)

The family have just arrived home from the hospital and the first thing big brother did was go out to the barn to get some ear protection! We thought Brooke must have screamed her way home in the car, but it turns out that she slept like a wee angel. Ethan is just being a good boy scout and "Being Prepared".
Meanwhile baby Brooke got handed (SLEEPING) around the family, first Garg gets to hold his first grand-daughter.....
Than Nan gets a turn, meanwhile Ethan has provided the medical kit so we can check out Brookes heart!
Then Aunty Carly gets the sleeping babe! This wee doll would just keep on sleeping - It might seem like every parents dream, but as a wee prem Dee and Duds will have to set up a rigorous routine to wake her and feed her to make sure she puts on weight.
Just as well Aunty Carly's knee is big enough for both Nephew and Niece! Ethan is still a wee bit unsure about this wee girl but is very pleased to have Mum and Baby at home.
Well it's time to check out the cot and big brother (though he insists he is NOT going to be big brother .. he's just ETHAN!) has a kiss good night.
When she's put in the cot baby Brooke doesn't take up very much room at all! Even with her cuddly blanket that Ethan bought for her on her "Birthday".
She's all lovely and snuggly. What a darling. She has totally captured the hearts of the whole Harris/Porter family.
Well she might seem like she asleep and quiet for now, but big brother is not convinced that this state of affairs will continue for very long so it is off to the lounge to retrieve the said............
EARMUFFS! just in case. You never can be too sure when these babies might start to kick up a fuss and you just have to be ready.
We are not sure where Ethan has got the impression that babies are particularly noisy but he is defeinitely taking some convincing that Baby Brooke is not going to be that disruptive. Guess we better wait and see.
