I know...it's been 4 days since we came home and I'm just now posting on our blog that we're all at home! As many of you know, life with a newborn at home is a big change...to say the least...and we couldn't be happier! We are busy (with Parker and Adnrew), incredibly sleep deprived, and we are loving (most of the time) every minute of it. Ask me again at 3 am!
Andrew came home on Tuesday, November 30th and we are all excited to be at home- Parker even went with us to bring him home and has been so sweet to his baby brother ever since! Andrew's health has improved tremendously and he's 2 oz. away from his birth weight of 8 lbs. 5 oz.
We want to THANK all of our friends and family who visited us at the hospital (both in Ottawa and Overland Park), everyone who sent us cards, text messages, posts on Facebook, prayed for us, prayed with us, and kept us in their thoughts throughout this whole time. We are so blessed with our family and friends and it truly showed the 10 days that Andrew was in the hospital. We appreciate Dr. Sinclair for her personal phone calls to us throughout it all, as well as all of the nurses, nurse practitioners, and doctors that worked with us and had a hand in helping Andrew. We had wonderful experiences with everyone we met and everyone that cared for Andrew. We also appreciate everyone that helped us with Parker- this was hard on him too and we are thankful for all of the grandparents, aunts, and cousins that helped take care of him while we were at the hospital.
I know that what we went through was a small dose of what other parents of babies in the NICU are going through, so I am continuing to keep those families in my thoughts everyday and pray that their precious babies get to go home soon! There are some tough little babies in the NICU and they are fighting hard to get bigger and healthier so that they can be with their families all the time- keep praying for them!
We are enjoying our time together as a family- Brandon has the entire month of December off from work and I am off until the first week of March! This is such a special time for our family and we are so thankful to have two healthy boys to smooch on and snuggle with this winter! We are home!
