Let the Good Times Roll!

We are in awe that the day is finally here! Tonight we picked up Noah and now, after 72 long days, we have our family together again under one roof! It's an exciting and anxious time.

Many will not agree with our actions, but we decided to discharge Noah against medical advice. The doctors wanted to watch him for a few more days to play with his feedings a bit and show that he's gaining more weight, but we just felt like we could monitor him at home. The medical staff has done a great job with his medical treatment, but we feel like bonding at home is the last piece of the puzzle for him to gain weight. In addition, he has been very fussy in the hospital for the past week and we're hoping that being here will help to calm his anxieties so he can hold on to as many calories as possible. Please pray that Noah will thrive at home, gaining weight and find peace being back with the fam.

Thankfully, Mom and Dad were due to leave but have delayed their flight until Sunday morning. Busha will come for the day on Saturday and Sunday to help with feedings and my sister then comes in Sunday evening. Quad Squad volunteers start bright and early Monday morning. What a wonderful blessing all of this help is, not only for the babies to get some extra one on one time, but for our sanity! :)

Hopefully we'll have time to post details over the weekend or at least post a few pics so you know we survived!

Funny monitor story of the week: Sophia's monitor went off in the middle of the night. With much gusto, Tim sprang into action and ran into the closet to save Sophia. He quickly realized we stopped letting her sleep in the closet and instead was in the crib:) Good 'ol Grandpa was just checking for monsters.
