It was our most memorable and first new years celebration as a family. We were expecting to stay up late either way and ring in the new year, this simply extended how long we actually did. Our friend Amanda who has been taking extra care of us these past few days with meals, and errands and such celebrated the night with us. The pics of the night turned out ruddy, so here's a pic of the morning after. There was no mystery if Eva was breathing or not, as she grunted and squeeked her way through the night the few hours she actually slept. We of course were paralyzed sleeping next to her watching every movement, and worrying about rolling onto her...sound familiar parents?
She went home weighing 2130 grams=somewhere over 4.5 lbs...and continues to eat to exhaustion. We are proud parents of our little Mangione.

I'm so happy to hear that Eva has finally come home. Alleluia! God is good all the time. :) We've all been enjoying the pictures since we just got home from retreat. You all remain in our thoughts and prayers.
Love,
Sr. Gail
Peter and I are so happy for you. We can't wait to meet the new member of the Mangan family!
Lots of Love,

Aw, how wonderful! Sweet relief! It goes without saying that I'm so glad she is finally home. Congrats to you both!
Much love,
Erika
what a precious little one! so happy for you both - can TOTALLY relate to watching her breathe throughout the night and the paranoia of rolling over on her---fun times. She looks like a little 'plicket' when shes 'talking' w/ her stuffed animal! so sweet!
