Justin asked yesterday if we could just bring Miles home today & the docs said ok! He does have to be on an apnea monitor for about a week. The monitor is pretty awful. If the leads are a little loose the machine screams louder than a fire alarm nonstop and there is no silence button so it continues until the leads are just right. Hopefully it won't be going off much or Miles is pretty much guaranteed to have hearing damage. He had a good night last night with no spells so will hopefully continue the trend.
Miles home going outfit, he weighs 5 lbs 9 oz today
We are so happy to all be under one roof! I never imagined that my babies would require a NICU stay for 2 & 2 1/2 weeks. We are so thankful they are doing well. We have had great experiences from the clinic, labor & delivery, postpartum & NICU with very caring knowledgable staff. We are fortunate to have a great healthcare system a few blocks from home.

Wow identical twins look alike, who knew? Their hair looks super red in this pic. It ranges from red to auburn depending on the light. Miles on left, Jack on right
Big brother Sam has been very helpful! He is a little fearful to touch them, but did shake their hands tonight.

1st night with 2 babies! Wish us luck!
Snow outside our house. Our dog Petey finally got some exercise yesterday with it being a balmy 25 degrees.
OH CONGRATS!!! What a great feeling that must be to all be together! I'm happy for you all! Keep growin', boys!
