1 down...2 to go

Sorry for being a bit of a slacker lately. I've been busy trying to get ready for Miss Jacee to come home. And finally after being in the NICU for 108 days, she was able to come home yesterday!!!! We "roomed in" at the hospital on Thursday night. They put her in a room with us so we can listen to all the noises she makes in the night and if we have any questions we can ask the nurses. Then we were able to bring her home Friday morning. I've never had such mixed emotions. Getting to bring her home is awesome, but walking out of the NICU with her and leaving the boys was soooo hard. It's like we're breaking up the trio for the first time. I'm glad they have each other though. And hopefully they will be able to come off their oxygen and start eating better soon so they can come home. My actual due date is(was) tomorrow March 16th. The nurses and doctors say that for a 24 weeker to come home at their due date is unsual and awesome! So good job Jacee!!! That's ONE of the hard parts with mulitples...always comparing one to another one. So the boys ARE doing great, we just have miss overachiever to compare them to.

Dax was very excited to meet his sister for the first time. He keeps rubbing her head and saying how cute she is. He's going to be a great big brother! And Jacee is doing great at home. So far she just eats and sleeps. Good girl!
Alright, the boys weights as of last night are:
Jaxon: 7 lbs 1 oz
Gavin: 7 lbs 2 oz (he has the biggest cheeks ever!) =)
And Jacee's weight as of Thursday night was 6 lb 13 oz.
Chunkers huh!

Proud brother...

Since our house is sooo huge, these guys get to share a room and they each get a wall so Kalee and I (mainly Kalee) painted each of their walls and Aaron's brother Austin made their names with vinyl letters ...

How cute! Dax does look so excited to be holding his little sister. Hope the boys will be following her home soon, luckily mine came home together so I didnt have to leave any behind. Did she have to come home on any type of monitors or is she completely free of everything?
