Saxon and Ella's lead nurse told us today that they are doing so good they may be coming home this week! It's still very tentative and there are still conditions to meet, but Friday could be the day.
(Nick thinks the babies are pretty cool.)
The plan as it now stands: I have to work Monday and Tuesday, but I will be going to Kansas City Tuesday night. First thing Wednesday, we begin the rooming in period. If everything is copacetic, we come home Friday morning.
A few things still need to happen for that to take place. The babies need to keep gaining weight. They need to pass their carseat test. (Saxon may need to borrow a carseat from the hospital as the ones we bought are rated for 5 pounds and up). I also need to take an infant CPR class. The hospital offers it and hopefully I will do good at it.
Both the babies are feeding well and Saxon now weighs 3lbs 13.5oz and ella weighs 4 lbs 15oz. She has finally made it back to her birth weight now and is ready to go up over five pounds any day now.
(Saxon waves hello to the people out there on the web)
The house is quiet now, but hopefully it will be a buzz of activity in the coming days. Eric, Tyler and Nick have been charged with cleaning the house and making things ready for the arrival of the babies. (Fingers crossed on this one!)

Callie, your babies are BEAUTIFUL! I am soo glad to hear that all is going well. I'm also glad to know that you have a very supportive L.C. That can make all the difference!
Unfortunately, I have had no luck finding you a twin sized Boppy. -Sorry.
Hope that you are able to bring those little Love Bugs home soon!
-Nat
