Linley is home... and more updates

Sorry for the delay in posting... we have had a big couple of days/week.


Linley is FINALLY home, we brought her home on Tuesday night weighing in at 5 lbs 7 oz, 2 lbs above her birth weight.  The first night was pretty rough, she is really LOUD!  She makes noises; she was grunting, squealing and cooing all night long and we didn't sleep a wink.  However, last night was much better, she slept in her own bed and Trip and I were able to get a couple hours of sleep in between feedings.


Caden was supposed to come home today, however, yesterday he had a couple Brady's and bought himself a couple more days in the NICU.  They did give us an option of bringing him home since he self recovered with them but after discussion with the neonatologist we decided to give him a couple more days.  We are so much more comfortable with him coming home after not having any episodes for several days than coming home after having one yesterday.  I would never sleep for fear he would stop breathing and we wouldn't see him.  So hopefully, he will have a great couple of days and be home on Saturday!  Please keep him in your prayers.


Below are some updated pictures from the last week or so...
