YES!!! We are all home!!!

Ok, we are all home. Collin made it home safely, and still has a lingering stuffy nose a little bit but has been good eating, breathing, etc. so today is the big day!!!

Follow up appointment with the pediatrician on 9/3 for both of 'em, and an appointment with the cardiologist on 9/23 to follow up about their PDAs. So we'll see how that goes!

For now we all get to settle in to our new family, new routine, a brand new chapter in our lives. Wow. What a great day it is today. We are so blessed to be able to have the little ones home today. Tomorrow marks 7 weeks, and would only be 3 weeks before the original due date, which is good to know - a bit reassuring in some regards because many babies are born in this range and do just fine. So their development is in a good place.

As we close this one chapter of our family's story, and begin another, I think we should give some recognition to a few very important parties: to all the medical staff at the NICU, Thank you. Wow, how wonderful - especially Cindy and Cindy, our two primary nurses. Fantastic people. To family and friends who have offered prayers, love and support on our behalf, thank you. To others who have had twins in the last few years and serve as a shining example of how fun it can be, even if it's a challenge, thank you. Finally, to Overstock.com, where I work - thank you. Tremendous people who have offered support and encouragement, asking how things are going; giving flexibility and time off means a lot. All who read this blog should go buy something on Overstock.com as a small token of my personal appreciation. :)

We feel very blessed. Our life is good, and we're extremely happy.

We'll check in soon with pictures!
