Coming Home...

Big Sister Visit

Haysannah and Shalyce came in to see Asher on Saturday (Sept. 27th) . They were so excited to see Asher. Shalyce asked why there weren't two babies. We explained that one of the boys needed extra care in a different hospital. He would join us at home in a few days. They soon found a seat and stretched out their hands to hold him. They each wanted to take some time sitting next to me in my bed.



Jude's Progress

Jude was making wonderful progress at the NICU. Each day he improved and he was feeding well. I sent some colostrum in a few times and milk on his last day there. The doctors gave the okay for him to come home on Monday (Sept. 29th).

Coming Home

Asher and I were going to come home on that Sunday, but we thought he might be a little jaundice so we stayed another day. We would also come home on Monday.

It was so exciting to all come home on the same day. The girls were excited to meet Jude (me too!). This would be the first time that both boys were together since they were born. This would be the first time I would be able to hold Jude and get to know him. It had been three days since I last saw him. This would be my first dose of the "twin reality."


Here are Asher and Jude together again!

I am so impressed that you are blogging with newborn twins. I am so glad that things went well and you are all home safe. Hopefully things continue to go smoothly. I met a lady in our new neighborhood the other day who said she thought twins were easy!!! (Hers are five now).

I am so happy that your sweet babies are here and that Jude made a quick recovery. Please take care of yourself too!! I know that is easier said than done. Again, so very happy that you have all of your babies at home together.
