Week 5 in the NICU

August 4th 10:58pm
Got to hold Nolan and Lucas together tonight. Going to bed a happy mama.

August 5th 5:24am
One month ago today my life changed on a level that many can never understand. After 33 weeks of a very scary, difficult pregnancy, I welcomed not one but three beautiful lives into this world. I look at their perfect little faces and still can't believe they're mine. I love you, Oliver, Nolan, and Lucas. Please come home soon!

6:09pm
We've been waiting for this day. Oliver and Nolan finally decided their time in the NICU is up and they're ready to come home. They've passed their car seat tests and tonight we get to room in and sleep with them by our bedside. If everything goes well, we'll be taking them home with us tomorrow afternoon. Our little Lucas isn't quite ready yet and will camp out for another couple days. Hopefully it won't be long before he's ready too.

Leaving the hospital with a very bittersweet feeling. So unbelievably happy to be bringing home Oliver but sad to be leaving behind our other two boys. Nolan decided he didn't want to leave Lucas alone in the hospital so he's going to stick around and keep him company.

So glad to be home with my sweet Oliver but feeling a lot of mommy guilt for not being with Nolan and Lucas. Missing my other boys like crazy right now. Trying to decide whether I should make an impromptu middle of the night visit. This is a lot harder than I thought it'd be...

Asher baby update: Oliver has been home since Tuesday. He's been such a good baby! He has his first pediatrician appointment tomorrow morning. Nolan was going to come home with Oliver but ended up having some spells the night we roomed in. He's doing better now and we will hopefully get to take him home on Sunday. He weighs 6 lbs as of today. Lucas is still having spells on a daily basis so he'll probably be in the NICU for a while longer. He's currently weighs 5 lbs 4 oz.
