Planning our getaway...







Okay, so the girls have had it, they heard there is a whole other world outside the NICU and they are ready for it! All preemies have to pass a car seat test, which means they hook up to monitors and have to sit in their seats for an hour without obstructing an airway to ensure that they can travel home safely. As you can see our girls are ready for their road trip! The feeding tubes are out, their vaccines were given and the car seat test was passed and we are ready--tomorrow looks like it will be the day! That means they will have spent 13 days in the NICU, a picture of their home away from home is below. The nurses have been so good to us and we learned a lot about caring for preemies. Again, it will be a month or so before we can really show them off, so be patient, we know lots of people want to visit--but we are going to be overprotective, we've been through too much to let them get sick now!
