The babies were ready to come home Friday as planned, but Callie was not. She had to have back-to-back surgeries to remove her cerclage and stop some bleeding. Because they gave her a transfusion, she had to stay overnight.

We finally got the go-ahead to head for home Saturday evening and by the time we got all the discharge paperwork and procedures done it was nearly 9 p.m. But Saturday night we arrived home and thankfully slept in our own beds with our family together at last.

It's been an interesting mix of work, baby care and household maintenance (with small patches of sleep) since then.
Callie and both babies are doing well at home and she and the older kids have gone to Sedalia today for an appointment with the twins' pediatrician. I'm home getting ready to tackle more housework. With Saxon and Ella arriving early, we didn't get to all the things we'd hoped to before they were born. (I don't think we would have gotten all of them done anyway, but no sense fretting about it now.)

I'll try to do better about updating this thing and will throw some more photos on when I get the chance.
