Coming Home!!!

Rick and I were scheduled for a CPR class on Friday night but the Dr called me this morning and asked us to take the class sooner because our girls would be coming home!!!

She said Emma is doing so well and is completely ready to be home. My sweet itty bitty girl is so strong and smart! Im so proud of her!

She is getting very close to that 4lb mark! She was 3lbs 14oz last night when she was weighed. I know that sounds so tiny...and it is. But She has gained over a pound since birth, and its amazing how much one pound can change the way a baby looks. Her little face is filling out and she is just growing up right before my eyes!

Molly had her head ultra sound this morning and the DR said that the enlarged ventricles that are swollen from the spinal fluid leak did not get any bigger. SO that is great news that her condition did not get worse over the past week.

However, it didnt get better either. It stayed the same. The DR said that she wanted to check her again in a week and was going to let the specialist see her x-ray results and get a 2nd opinion on whether or not this is something that they can moniter as an out patient.

I told the DR that I was extremely ready for them both to be home but only if they were ABLE to be.

She is going to call me back and let me know what the specialist thinks. If they think that its okay for her to come home then my girls will be here before the weekend!

If they want Molly to stay, then she will be home next Tuesday.

Im praying they can come home together so please pray for that as well!

Most of all, pray that Molly's spinal leak will be completely healed before her next ultra sound.

Gosh, I get butterflies thinking that in just the next couple days my girls will be HOME. No more having to leave them, missing them, having to drive 30 minutes just to see them. They will be right HERE with me around the clock. I so can not wait!

I am VERY Excited about getting to share my girls with all of you who have been praying and asking me DAILY how my girls were doing and how Rick and I have been doing through this. You all are angels and we cant wait to share with you our blessings that you have helped pray into our lives.

However, Rick and I have waited a very long time to share this time together in our home as a family of 4. So for the first couple weeks please respect our time that we have been waiting so long for, and call us before coming by. I really hate to even ask that, because I know so many of you are excited about meeting and spending time with our girls. And trust me, I WANT you to meet them as well! But please call first, to make sure that it is a good time for us, before you stop in. We are going to be adjusting to a whole new life schedule and it would make life a little easier on us, if we knew that we were having company beforehand. And if you happen to catch us, at a time that is not good, please dont take it personal. There is always "tomorrow". :)

Again, thank you so much for praying for our girls and for loving them and loving us and for showing us time after time that you care!

I look forward to my girls being able to meet all of their "fans".

Please continue to keep Molly in your prayers and please pray that our girls coming home would be a smooth transistion for them.

Thank you!!
