The Time is Finally Here!

After a pretty emotional weekend of concerns about baby H's oxygen saturation and weight, we got a call from the doctor at 11:30 this morning saying he felt baby H was ready to go home! I asked him several questions related to the concerns, and he said it is not uncommon for preemies to have a drop in their oxygen during feedings. He also was not concerned about his lack of weight gain over the past 2 days. He said that about 1/40 babies fail the car seat test, but fortunately he finally passed the test in a special car bed so that he has a way for us to safely bring him home. After asking him my questions, I told the doctor we are a little nervous but also very excited!

Tomorrow morning we will finally bring him home after nearly 5 weeks of being in the NICU. We look forward to having both of our boys at home and eventually establishing a "new normal" routine for our family. We are excited to finally have the opportunity to take care of our child in our home. I'm not sure we will know what to do without all of the trips to the hospital! :)

We very much appreciate everyone's thoughts and prayers over the past few months. It has been incredible how God has answered so many prayers, and we can't thank you enough for remembering us. Here are some pictures from the past few days! We look forward to sharing one of all four of us at home!! :)
