After three weeks in the NICU, our boys are finally about ready to come home! They are both eating phenomenally, gaining weight consistently, maintaining temps, and have had no apnea or bradycardia events of any kind.
In preparation for going home, there were a lot of happenings today. Hudson was changed to ad lib feedings like his brother. Both are on plain breast milk feedings (no more calorie fortification) and have started a multivitamin to be given every day. They both have now had their hearing test- they passed with flying colors- and tomorrow they will receive their Hepatitis B vaccination shot. Also, in prep for the journey home, they chilled in their car seats for a little while this afternoon to ensure they won't have any issues ridding in the seats when we finally go home.

As long as tonight goes well for both of them- essentially if they keep doing what they're doing- tomorrow we will 'room in' with them. That means Landon and I will spend the night at the hospital with them in our room and be solely in charge of all cares and feedings. That way, we can ensure them we can handle all of their needs. And if that all goes well, Thursday they will be home!!
