Liliana comes home!!!

When we came into the NICU this morning we were informed that Liliana would be coming home today!!! We had a feeling she would be, and as much as we wanted to take both of the twins home together, Lucas is still working up to his feedings, so we started the preparation for Liliana to come home. First, the NICU gives each baby going home a car seat test. Sometimes, especially with preemies, the baby's airway can get blocked when they try to sit in a car seat. So in order to pass and to be able to go home in a car seat, Liliana was put in her seat, still hooked up to the monitor and she needed to sit in it for one hour without the monitor indicating any abnormalities of oxygen consumption....




I think she had fun in her new digs...

Meanwhile, while the test was going on, it was mail call in the NICU and both Liliana and Lucas recieved Valentine's from Nana. Since Lucas was going to be staying we showed him his card and then left it in the corner of the crib.

Notice that Lucas no longer has the feeding tube. He is doing great and eating strong and doctors say he could be home as early as Thursday. Hip-hip-hooray little man!


When we arrived home with Liliana, Nana had these balloons waiting for us. Now the whole neighborhood knows she is home!!

Nice and cozy at home...where she should be!

We will be going back every day to feed and visit with Lucas. Let's hope he comes home soon! We miss you Lucas!
