Kaimen is finally home!!!


Lori, Laura, and Lisa some of the awesome NICU staff there to see Kaimen off.

Notice how happy Danica is to have her brother home with her!
Ahhhh....finally together!!
Last Friday we brought our little boy home. It came up a lot faster than we thought it would. On Monday of last week they said it would be 2 more weeks atleast. Then on Wednesday they said we could take him home that Friday. I was so excited when I got the message, I started jumping up and down, and called our family right away. The twins are 3 months old today and my due date was on Thursday. We have been at the hospital every single day since May 30th. Kaimen was there for a total of 89 days. I'm sure he was just as glad to get out of there as we were to have him out. He was a pretty popular guy in the NICU, all the nurses were in love with him. We are so grateful to all the nurses and doctors for taking such good care of our babes. Thank you all, we love you guys! As much as we will miss the wonderful people we have met through all of this, there is no greater feeling than having our babies home and being together as a family. We are having a great time with the twins. We of course are not sleeping at all. The first 2 nights we got about 2-3 hours. Last night was better, so we hope they are just getting used to everything. I was telling Rich last night I feel like our work has trippled not doubled since he has come home. Life consists of lots of diaper changing, bottle feeding, bottle washing, bathing, doing laundry, and a few hours of sleep every now and then.

Those pics are so cute. I absolutely love Kaimen's cubby little cheeks. I just want to squeeze them. I want to come see them, but I have a little cold right now. Good luck with the sleep.

So happy for your family! It is about time! I love the pictures & can't wait to meet the sweeties!

Advice...Sleep when they sleep!!! I never took that advice with Addie, but I sure will this time!

Love you!

Woo Hoo for baby coming home! Our new baby William was in the NICU for 5 days and I kept thinking about you and said...well she's done it longer than I have, so I can do it as well. The first time they let me nurse William I came up to watch the rest of conference and the first speaker I heard was President Corbridge...it was awesome...a little tender mercy, well enjoy your babies, they are so cute!!

Hurray!! you left a message on my blog awhile back about your twins being in the Nyicu. I'm so happy for you that they are both finally home. We are still waiting to take our little boy home. Babies are such miracles. I've been so amazed watching your little one's pull through. Congratulations!!
