There's no place like home!

Today was a very special day for the Henretty family. Chris and I were finally able to bring our precious baby boy home! I can't even begin to describe the joy we felt after 63 long days in the NICU. Not to mention the 30 days for mom before that! Even though we were ecstatic to leave for the last time today, I can't say enough good things about Northside hospital. The doctors always listened to our concerns and many of Mason's nurses loved him like he was their own.

Mason turned 2 months old on Saturday and and weighs 7lbs, 3oz. He has grown so much in the past 2 months and we can't wait to spend more time with him now that he is home. We are very blessed and happy to start our life together as a family of 3. Let the fun (and sleepless nights) begin! Of course we took a ton of pictures of his big day, so here are some of the highlights.

Our little family finally ready to leave the hospital together!! Mason is so cute in his going home outfit that his Uncle Lamar gave him.

Mason's Nana (Chris' mom) was here to help us get settled. What a proud grandma!

Don't get too comfy - we're almost there!
Home at last!

Mason wasn't very interested just yet, but he and daddy watched their very first NASCAR race together.
Whew - what a big day!! I'm so glad to be home with mommy and daddy!
