1. Preston is off his IV and his central line should be taken out by the end of the week. Preston's cord fell off (gross) this past weekend. He will probably remain in the NICU for 3 more weeks just because he's so small.
2. Kesleigh will probably be home by the end of the week! We need to bring in her car seat tonight (they need to put her in it a monitor her to make sure her heart rate etc. doesn't go off the charts.) We also have to bring in the bottles/nipples we are going to use so they can acclimate her to them.
3. Gavin is off the billi lights and into an open crib (AKA bin). Our nurse said there is a chance he could come home with Kesleigh. We will bring in his car seat as well this week.
Before we take any baby home we are allowed to "room in" the night before. This is where we take the baby(ies) and go to a make-shift bedroom down the hall from where the babies are staying now. They are off all monitors etc. but we stay the night there and that way if we have any questions (freak outs) we can go two doors down and ask our nurse.
Here's some pics from the last couple days:
Mommy, Daddy, & Kesleigh
Kesleigh
Gavin
Preston (it's hard to get pics of him because he's been on the billi lights in his isolette)
Reality begins! How exciting, though!

your blog has almost become my home page! I can't stay away from it and check the progress of those 3 miracles several times a day. Thanks so much for including all those wonderful pictures. The personalities are starting to emerge--what a joy!
