We're still waiting for the twins to get discharged.
Saturday night, the pm nurse decided to do Kendall's car seat challenge and she passed so they proceeded with all of her discharge testing (hearing test, Hep B shot). So, as of Sunday morning, we weren't sure who was coming home. Kendall? Christopher? Possibly both?
We arrived last night and the head nurse practioner said, "You have 2 options: you can take one home tonight or take both home tomorrow." We couldn't believe our ears - they can BOTH come home? Together?!
So, we came home last night and were frantically trying to prepare all of the last minute stuff.
"I have to gather their homecoming outfits and stock the Pack 'n Play with wipes and diapers and I should probably vacuum the house so it's not dusty and oh yeah, don't forget to charge the video camera...."
We got up this morning and were just about ready to leave when the phone rang.
It was the NICU nurse saying they aren't coming home today. They both lost weight over night so they decided to keep them another day.
So, maybe tomorrow.
I'm disappointed but at this point, I want to make sure they are ready. And, if the doctor is hesitant, we'll have to be patient. We have the rest of our lives to spend with them, what's one more day? I still need to give myself a reality check - for their age, they are coming home early.
And, for that, we're very thankful.
