We're Home - ALL OF US!

Jeremiah got to come home today! We went up this afternoon to pick him up with Eric and Malissa. He has done so well the past few days and he was only sent home on Simply Thick and Prilosec. I think he will have to stay on Prilosec for a few months, but that will be up to the pediatrician.

We went to the doctor yesterday for Michael and he lost a few ounces and so the doctor wants him to eat every three hours instead of four hours. Which is fine, it adds two more feedings during the day which doesn't seem like a lot, but since then it seems like we are either feeding or pumping all day. And that is ok - I knew that would be all I would be doing at first - and it is a joy to be able to feed two little men!

My mom, brother and sister-in-law are here and they have been a HUGE help! My mom has slept in the living room with Michael in the pack in play and has done is night time feedings so we could get some sleep! That has been such a blessing so that I can get back on my feet. Tonight, since we now have two babies home, my mom and Malissa are going to do the feedings. We had to order another Pack in Play that has a full bassinet so that both babies can sleep in it. It should be in on Tuesday.

We are so thankful that the Lord protected our boys! Thank you all for your prayers - countless people have come to us and told us that they were praying for the boys, or that their church was praying for them. It is such an encouragement to us to know that people have prayed for these two little guys since we knew their were two! Thank you for being faithful in praying for them! It means a great deal to us!

Here are a few pictures from Michael's first bath and tummy time, and Jeremiah's trip home! Enjoy! :)

Wow! They are gorgeous boys. I've been keeping up with your blog with every post about the boys.

Tell your mom, Eric and Malissa that Chris and I said hello!

Your boys are so beautiful!!! We had two boys on 4/3 at 31 weeks. We get to take Maddox (baby b) home Sunday and Marcus (baby a) home on Wednesday (providing they behave and pass all their "tests"). Your pic of putting the two of them together to inspect for similarities and differences is what we can't wait to do!!!
