Yesterday morning we got a call from the NICU around 930 saying that Lucas could come home. We were in total shock but happy. Last night was a bit challenging though because Lucas is not feeling well from his little surgery he had yesterday morning before he came home. He wants to be held all the time, poor little guy but soon he will forget all about it.
We had issues with Rachael the night before, we couldnt keep her awake for her eat and she was not pooping. She had a doctors appt yesterday anyway. The doctor said we have to get mean with her to get her to eat. By this she means we have to strip her down to her diaper and flick the bottom of her foot, rub her head, give her a sponge bath, etc whatever it takes to get her mad so she will wake up. So far she is doing good. I gave her a suppository last night and it did work really quick. So she is back on track with that aspect of her little self. She weighed 4 pounds at her visit, if she loses weight by Monday then she will have to go back into the hospital so we are hoping she gains some or stays the same.

Come on Rachael! Gain some weight! We don't want you to go back into the hospital! Poor Lucas! I know that Riley was the same way. Poor baby. So happy they do this while they are infants. That is a good thing. Can you imagine MEN going through with it? I am so happy that you are all home. Doesnt it feel better? MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!
Yes it feels great to have them home. Just trying to get into a schedule right now but we did get more sleep last night then the night before so things are looking good.
