We did not go to the hospital Wednesday due to the snow. We did not want to risk getting into an accident. Unfortunately Jeremy has not seen the kids since Sunday. He feels awful.
We got some great news today.................Alex is hopefully being discharged Friday or Saturday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Can you tell I am a little excited?!?!?! It is not official until there are written orders from the doctor. We have been told that the orders should be written tomorrow. Judy, Alex's nurse and a favorite, started the discharge paperwork tonight while we were there. They have told us that discharge could take a couple of hours due to meeting with different people and paperwork, so Jeremy has taken a half day. Alex has done well at letting the nurses know when he wants to eat. He is taking anywhere from 75 cc to 95cc of milk every 3 to 4 hours. He weighs 6#10 ounces today. He is doing great!!!
Liz and Zach are doing well too. Liz now weighs 5#11 ounces and is off of her cannula except for feedings. So we can finally see what her face looks like! I must say she is a beautiful little girl, but I am a little bias! :) Zach weighed in at 5# 5 ounces today. He is working on his feedings, before we know it he will be coming home. All three have continued with their immunizations, just another step towards going home.
We are so excited to be finally bringing someone home 8 weeks after they enter this world! I cannot wait to lay on the couch with him on my chest or watch him sleep in a normal crib or listen to him coo on the monitor or to be woke up by a crying baby instead of boobs that need to be pumped or just start feeling like a parent! Tomorrow will be a bittersweet day as we bring one home and leave the other two there but it will not be long before they join him. We will keep you posted with the homecoming and pictures (I am sure there will be a lot, don't want to miss a moment). You will most likely not see a post in the next few days as our family begins to start the next leg of our journey. Bring on the bonding process!!!! Love, Jen

Liz IS beautiful! And Zach and Alex are both so handsome! They are all so precious. Boy have they grown. I love how Zach is looking at you, it looks like he talking to you. In all the pictures Liz looks just like a sweet little girl. And Alex is so bright eyed. Great Grandma will be so excited to hear all the good news. Safe trip home Alex. And Liz and Zach your turn will be soon. Love to All.
