Christopher has gained 3 oz so he's currently at 4 lbs 11 oz and he has really taken off with his feedings. That's the last factor for letting them go home. He also had his circumcision this morning and he did fine. It still broke my heart to put him through that but I definitely think it was the right decision for his health.
Little Kendall is also doing good but she still needs a little more time to get the bottle down. She has quite an appetite but gets sleepy about 1/2 way through the bottle and sometimes can't finish. As soon as she can show some consistency with her feedings, she'll get discharged as well. She has gained the most weight and now weighs 4 lb 3oz.
I'm so happy to have Christopher coming home but it is with mixed feelings. I feel so guilty for leaving Kendall behind. I started crying when the doctor told us about Christopher and part of it was tears of joy and the other part was tears of guilt. I know she's not ready to come home and of course I want the best for her. I also know that we'll continue to visit like we are now. But, it's still killing me. We're hoping she'll only stay for a few days to a week after him.
