She’s home!! Enough said…? No, of course not!
Britton Grace came home today, weighing in at 6 pounds, 1 ounce…probably more than 3 pounds less than Jack and 1.5 pounds less than the next smallest, Lila Addison. She is a dainty little thing and she’s going to be high maintenance for awhile, but oh my gosh is she cute!!! The acid reflux thing is definitely going to be tough to manage so please keep the prayers coming for her (and us!). She is on a three hour feeding schedule (the others are now on four hours), Casey and I are the only people allowed to feed her, she has to be held upright for at least 45 minutes after she eats, and if she doesn’t eat enough, Casey and I will have to put a tube down her nose to get her the rest of her bottle…not easy. Goodbye to the little sleep we were getting… ;-)
I’ve got to say that despite the challenge that lies ahead, we are so relieved and happy to have Britton home with us. Today was her three month NICU anniversary – far longer than we ever expected – and it was getting really difficult to get up there to see her. It’s also so gratifying to finally have our whole family under one roof…can you tell by the smiles on our faces?? We had a lot of fun taking these pictures…good times today and many good times to come!!
I’m going to bed now…zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz….
God Bless,
Ethan
