We are starting to feel like NASA. We have our scheduled date, just need everything to continue as planned, and we can launch. One minor mix up with the weather, we get delayed. Today was the original day Hudson was planned to join us at home, but he decided to take a few minutes off from breathing this past Tuesday. His little episode bought him 5 more days in the NICU. And his brother did the exact same thing an hour later. Our new target day is Sunday. And unlike before, we are slated to get to take both of them home at the same time. This is a huge blessing if it in fact continues. Because once one of them leaves the NICU, he isn’t allowed back. So the logistics issue for Erin and I becomes that much more challenging. We are crossing all fingers and toes that the boys can come home on Sunday.
Some days go by faster than others with all the commuting back and forth, but nonetheless, we are very blessed with such healthy little boys. The nurses are so great, and we are fortunate to have learned so much from them. We hope the boys stay on this 3 hour schedule that they've been put on since day 1! We are filled with excitement, anticipation, and nervousness as we are approaching the day to introduce them to their home.
Other updates from the week: the boys are now circumcised. Ouch. I’m glad they won’t remember it. We reached the 4 week mark. Happy birthday boys! They passed their hearing test. Sorry Casey, we won’t need your services.
Here are a couple shots from the hearing set up:
The boys also snuck out of the other night and bought be a great frame for my desk at work. And it looks like they picked up moms creativity. They made me a birthday card that even included their footprints. I was impressed.
Hudson is now 5 lbs 6 oz (yes, he will be starting slim fast shortly) and Landon is 4 lbs 14 oz. Both are continuing to eat well and keep gaining weight!
Below are some pics from this week. It was great to get some recent ones with everything off of their faces! And speaking of, the cord count is down to 1!
See, cord free! Well, almost.
Its loud in here, please keep it down.
That way…
Some quality time.

Familiar position. It seems like they eat every 30 minutes.
