We have a six pound baby on our hands!!! Joseph weighed in last night at just over 6lbs which is really amazing!!! Nicholas is weighing in at 5lb 5oz, so he's still got some catching up to do, but so far so good!!! We also received notice today that Nicholas is scheduled to come home on Tuesday barring any episodes that happen between now and then!!! We knew it could be any time this week, but now that the nurses and doctors have given us a date it's making this exciting news so much more real!!! We have really gotten used to living our lives like this for the past 78 days and to think we're going to have to figure everything out again seems crazy, but we couldn't be happier!!!
Joseph is still doing great off of his oxygen and hasn't had an episode since the 17th of October, so he may be coming home shortly after Nicholas, which will be great so Kalleigh and I don't have to work on feeding Nicholas here and then getting to the hospital to feed Joseph!!! I'm sure we'll be okay, and we will have to keep a positive attitude toward everything which to be honest has been the best medicine for Kalleigh and I! We know we'll have some bumps along the road, but we also know that we'll just have to smile and laugh at most of it!!!
Other than the exciting news of a possible homecoming on Tuesday, there isn't too much more to say! The boys are testing out the bottles we have at home to see how they respond, and they will be testing out the car seats too! Speaking of car seats, tomorrow marks the official day where Kalleigh is taking my car and I get hers, so I'm a little bummed, but excited at the same time!!! I'm also excited that hopefully on Tuesday the push up count gets cut in half!!! 156 today was a lot, and hopefully 160 will be highest we have to go!!!
Please keep Nicholas and Joseph in your prayers as they embark on what we hope is their final journey in the NICU these next few days, and just know how much Kalleigh and I are forever grateful for the love and support everyone continues to bless us with on a daily basis!!! Goodnight everyone!!!
