The girls continued to make great progress this week. When they were only 9 days old, they were moved from their isolettes, and into cribs. That means that they are able to maintain their own body temperature...one of the last hurdles before getting to come home.
On day 10, Jeff and I had a sleepover at the hospital with our girls. They have a family room where parents can spend the night with their little one(s) before taking them home and being on their own. We put the girls in one crib for a bit so they could spend some time together.
The next morning, they got some more "sister time" before heading back to their room and their own cribs. Mom and Dad didn't get a whole lot of sleep. I know I was nervous and listened for every little sound they made. We also had to get up every 3 hours for feedings. Overall, it was great to spend some quality time together as a family. I also discovered that I can tell them apart.
On day 12, our girls were discharged from the NICU and came home. We were so excited to have them close to us. The grandparents were all very happy as well. Now we can really start bonding with our girls.
The grandmas finally got to hold and feed the girls.
