Today is my first night alone with the babies. Reese was great! Brodie wanted to be hel the whole time which was OK but hard when I realized his oxygen tubing doesn't reach all the way into the kitchen so I am trying to carry him in the Bjourn which he loves we get stuck in the kitchen and then we pull off some of his leads in the process and his heart monitor starts freaking out because its not reading him anymore. My mom left me this morning and I miss her so much and so does Reese. She woke up this morning asking Jeremy where grandma was. It was sad. Hopefully we will see her soon enough. I am so tired, I think I am going to just veg on the couch for awhile since both babies are asleep. This whole experience with Brodie in the hospital and him being on monitors at home has been and still is very hard. I get so upset just thinking why are my babies NICU babies? I mean both of them in the same bed at the NICU..come on! But then I just thank Heavenly Father that I have been able to take both of my babies home and they are happy and healthy. They just take a litle helping out in the begininng. I love my little man, he is so sweet and realitively always happy unless he is hungry or wanting to be held. Reese has been awesome! She has been the best helper and big sister, I am so proud of her. It is really weird typing this post crying and smiling at the same time. I wish the hormones/exhaustion would level out by now! Here are some updated pictures of Brodie...
This is our family finally leaving the hospital (the other lady is the nurse walking us out)

So cute!..I love your little guy already. He is so cute. Let me know if there is anything I can do for you. I want to come by and see you guys. Let me know when you are feeling up to it.
I'm so glad he's home and doing well. If there's ANYTHING (and yes I stress that) let us know. Maybe we can have Reese over for a play day so you can get some extra rest. We love you guys!
Your post brought tears to my eyes, I so remember that feeling of why me why do I get NICU babies? I am sorry that someone else has to feel that way too. I am so glad he is home and he is beautiful!
