We were expecting to take Alton and Baxter home from the hospital last evening, but it will be Saturday afternoon instead. After speaking with the doc and nurses, we decided that this would be best for everyone. We have to remind ourselves that they are still JUST 35 weeks gestation and are not the best at eating from a bottle. A few days can make a big difference. Saturday it is!!!
I keep singing that 80's song "Let's Hear it for my Boy" in my head ... but instead it's "Let's hear it for my Boys. Let's hear for my babies!" I'm just so happy.

Daddy's Little Girl
Sometimes little Charlotte really wiggles and kicks around in her isolette. They say that this is typical of an IUGR baby (In Utero Growth Restricted). She calms down with a little "hand-holding" which daddy is doing here.
Cheers to our "Last Supper"
On Wednesday night Kreg and I went out to a nice dinner together to celebrate bringing home our little boys. It was so nice to sit down together, breathe, and reflect on this wild ride we've been on for not only the past few weeks, but the past five years. I look back and think about the life lessons I've learned. One biggie is about control. This experience continually reminds me that I don't really make all the decisions and something bigger than I am holds the reigns. It's a good lesson...for me at least.
Cheers to letting life take it's course and to the magic of surprizes!! What better way to celebrate than with a nice flute of bubbly?
The Slumber Party
The doctor's suggest that parents spend a night at the hospital just prior to the baby going home for an easier transition. Kreg and I slept in the Parents Suite with little Baxter and took his temp, changed his diaper, fed and burped him through the night. Everyone did very well! Now for the real deal...
ZZZZzzzzzzz
Alton sure looks cute when he's sleeping. He either likes to sleep with his hands up over his head (something I do) or folded nicely at his chest. What a sweetpea.
