It is looking like we are going home tomorrow!!!!!!!! Ruben has been eating all by mouth since 6am yesterday. He got his tube out today and has been eating well since. We are rooming in tonight. Speaking of rooming in he just woke up and need to eat. Tayla is with us too.

I will not be able to update very often when we get home as we do not have internet at home and we will be trying not to go anywhere when we go home.

Tayla has been discharged! I will still be able to stay in the rooming in room in the NICU with her. I can take her out of the NICU and bring her back in as long as we do not leave the hospital and no one holds her.

Ruben has taken the last 6 out of 9 feeds by mouth. I am hopeful if he follows what Tayla did that by tomorrow he will be taking all of his food by mouth.

I was told that it was -28 degrees this morning at 3:30am. Wow I hope it is warmer then that when we bring the babies home.

Tayla is still rooming in with me! She is still taking all of her feeds by mouth. She has woken up over the last day and wants to be held. I will love it when I am able to just be with my babies and not have to go three floors down get my food without my babies.

Ruben continues to improve. It makes sense that Ruben would be behind Tayla since he had the respitory issues that she did not have. I can’t remember how many feeds he took by mout in the last 24 hours but he did take the last two for sure. He is taking at least 50% of his food by mouth. Unlike Tayla who is getting most of her food by a bottle Ruben is getting most of his food by nursing.

It is looking more and more like we will be going home within the week!

Kelly and the kids came down tonight it was good to see them.
