Oliver Comes Home

Oliver hadn't been doing great up until a couple days before he came home. He basically slept 23 hours a day his entire 35th week of gestation. He started to wake up on the 36th week, but still would sleep through most his cares/feeds.

Then suddenly he woke up! He started waking up before every care/feed and taking his bottles!

Here he is in the car seat test. He had to sit in his car seat for 1.5 hours without any issues. He rocked it!

Has pacifier is almost as big as his face.

We are just waiting to find out if he can come home! He made his 48 hours taking all his feeds via mouth, but he lost weight the night before so we were on hold because of that.

The door to their NICU unit. They started in "D" pod and ended in "B".

About to take our man home!

All ready to go!

The oxygen and heart rate monitor died right after we had left the hospital. Not exactly what you want to have happen when you are finally taking your tiny preemie home.

Our first family photo!!! Such a big event for us!

Savannah curled right up to Oliver. He didn't seem to care much about their being reunited. 

I put them both in the bassinett - Oliver on the bottom left and Savannah on the top right. When I came back to check on them, Savannah had moved herself clear to the left and but her arm around her brother.

IT WAS SO FREAKING CUTE!

She never lays with her arms down - she is an arms up kinda gal.

After they came home we fed them and put them to sleep. I took a much needed shower, and when I came out Trevor was playing the xbox. Savannah started to get fussy and I was trying to finally catch up on this blog, so I took the Moby Mikail was nice enough to lend to us and wrapped Sav on Trev.

They both loved it!

First day home, phew! 

I can't express how grateful and happy I am to have both these babies home. This has been a such an intense situation, and I am so grateful to see the end of the NICU.

We loved the nurses and our experience there, but not exactly where you want to be with your newborns.

I am so grateful both these babies are healthy and thriving! I am so in love with them both.

Love,

Brittney
