Guess Who's Coming Home???

It's us!!!
Will & Jack
Having 'stare into each other's face' time

Yesterday our boys went from taking 5-6 feedings by mouth to ALL of them!!  So that means we are in the countdown to them coming home!!  Officially, we are scheduled to bring them home on Monday, if they continue to do well on their feeds, and if they don't have any brady/apnea episodes.  They haven't had any of those for at least a week, so we're pretty sure we are okay there!  

We have a very busy next few days...the boys have to pass their car seat tests, they have to get circumcised, we are learning infant massage, they are getting dressed up in their Halloween costumes to get their NICU pictures done, they have an eye exam, and we are planning on rooming in at the hospital Sunday night to for a "practice run" on our own!!  Yikes!!  And there are just a few more things that we need to pick up at the store before they come!  

But I am SOOOO excited, and just can hardly believe it!  It seemed to far off in the distance, and now it is here!!  On Monday they will have been in the hospital 54 days, so I think that is long enough, and I'm so glad it's time to come home! Even if it gets pushed to Tuesday, we can hardly wait to bring our boys home!!!

Please pray that all will go well over the next 48 hours, and that they will finally come home!!! =)
