Today we got to bring home Cole!!! His bilirubin levels were good and he is eating like a champ! Stuart and I took Lane to a weight check (he was up to 6# 13oz), and then went to get his brother. It was so exciting to walk out carrying our 2 amazing miracles!!!! Jace woke up from his nap to discover the baby population in our house had doubled! He couldn't stop smiling at "his" babies. Jace had been calling Lane "Lane-Cole" so I think it finally made sense that there were 2 babies. It is so wonderful to have everyone at home. My respect for NICU parents has gone up drastically- it is hard to go back and forth and spread out your energy between children at home and a baby in NICU. But we were in the best of hands in NICU and are so blessed by the care we got. Thank you again to everyone in NICU for loving our boys so much! Please continue to pray for the boys' nicu neighbor, baby J, as he fights to get big and strong.
So happy they are both home!!!! NICU people are the best!!!
