Hi All -
Sorry for the lack of posts lately, but things have been a bit crazy. When I posted on Monday, I talked about how Bea needed to learn to eat before she could come home. On Tuesday night, Bea got her first bottle. And,instead of spitting half of it up like a normal preemie, she guzzled it down. By Wednesday, she had gone 24 hours without a feeding through her tube and was cleared to come home. They gave me the choice of whether I wanted her to come home Thursday or Friday.
Well, needless to say, we were a little surprised by this turn of events. We had some work to do around the house, etc. We chose for her to come home Friday and then spent the next two days crazily running around getting the house ready. Then on Friday morning, she came home!! It is so wonderfully surreal to actually be home as a family. Saturday was the first day in 79 days that I hadn't been to the hospital.
Things are going fairly well. Bullet and Bea are learning about each other. We are learning more about Bea, etc. She has some sniffles that have me worried a bit, but other then that she has been great.
We have some pictures to post and some more stories to tell, but right now, I need to get to sleep.
Love, Melissa

Dear Melissa,
Hasn't someone told you? Basically, you'll never get a full night's sleep again.
Welcome to parenthood.

Hi there-
Congrats on coming home- I'm sure that's just been wonderful. It'll be a lot less hectic not having to go back and forth and now she's right where she should be. She must be one smart little girl to have progressed so fast. Enjoy every moment as it goes by too fast=)

Matt, Melissa & Bea,
Congratulations to you all. Great to hear everyone is doing so well.
Matt, that must have been one of your more enjoyable b-days with the excitement of getting the house ready for Bea to come home the next day! Happy belated birthday.
