Joe~ has been home a little over a week now and has kept us plenty busy. We have been staying in Little Rock for the most part to be with Jacob. Joe had his 2 month appointment yesterday and weighs in at 6 pounds and 10 ounces. He also got his 2 month shots and got an eye exam. He has an appt at Children's on Thursday for his finger. He is a pretty good sleeper and only wakes up every 3-4 hours. He enjoys sleeping in his pack and play or his car seat.
Jacob~ is doing great and as of 2 this morning he got his feeding tube pulled. If all goes as planned this should be our last weekend in Little Rock. He is getting to be a big boy :) He weighs in at 6 pounds and 1.9 ounces. Jacob's bleed seems to have disapated but he still does have a Periventricular leukomalacia (PVL).
Bobby and I have been doing good and trying to get adjusted to the roll of being parent's. Today we are taking the first pictures of becoming a family of four.
This journey has not been an easy one, in fact their are many times just walking in to the NI to see our boys that I have shed tears, while I am thankful that we have an amazing medical team their have also been many times I have gotten frusturated with their some what lack of communication. As this journey being a NICU family comes to an end and as we take our sweet and handsome boys home please continue to pray for all the other NICU families and their babies. As I have said many times before and as my medical team has said this journey isn't a sprint it's a marathon that saying is so very true.
This photo is from last week when I got to snuggle with both boys together :) Joe is on the left and Jacob is on the right.
