Still in K.C.

We ended up staying in K.C. afterall, living out our confinement at St. Luke's. Spending time with Callie and the babies has been great, but it's not like being at home.

Saxon and Ella both lost a little weight, but not enough to worry the doctors. It was between a half-ounce and an ounce. Not too shabby considering they've not had any fortified formula added to their feedings.

Callie had an appointment with her doctor today. It looks like what's left of her cerclage is the cause of her fevers, so they are going back in to remove it in a few hours. As soon as she is able to travel, we'll be on the road back to Marshall. So we should be home sometime Friday afternoon. The list of things to do there is still quite long, but it will be such a relief to be there at last.

I hate to keep repeating myself, but these really are some good natured babies. There is another woman rooming in today and I'm sure she's as overjoyed as we are to be on the short side of things. But I feel for her, as her baby cries quite often.

Saxon has been a bit fussy today, but given what he's been through "down there" I can't say that I blame him. Even so, he is easily consoled and then he's back to being a peaceful baby. It seems like he doesn't like his crib very much though, so he'll probably be a bit of a handful. Of course, he's so darned adorable, I don't think he'll have any shortage of people to hold him.
