And the fun begins

We got the go ahead last night to take Micah home. We will be taking him home tomorrow! Yay! Nathan has to stay since he had an "event" on Wednesday - his heart rate dropped to 80 bpm for a little while and then it went back up which set off the monitor's alarms. I was at the NICU when it happened. I told him not to do that again. The babies have to be "event" free for a few days before they go home. I wouldn't feel comfortable having him at home if that's happening anyway. The nurses did say it's pretty normal for that to happen in a preemie.

Both boys had their boy surgery this morning and Nathan did better than Micah I'm told. I think Micah is going to be my wild-man while Nathan will be more laid back. It just seems like they are that way right now.

We are going to get Emma tonight, too. I'm excited to see her again! I miss her! My sister-in-law has been doing a great job with 4 kids, but I'm sure she's ready to be back to 3, too. The house has been pretty quiet (& clean!) lately. I'm ready for some noise again!

So thankful to hear that Micah gets to come home! Will pray that Nathan gets the green light soon, too!

Don't forget about the naked dolls! All our dolls are naked since Emma arrived! :)

I can't wait to (gently) squeeze Nathan and Micah.

Maybe Micah put Nathan up to getting them out? :)
