Back at Last

Today was the day that Matt and I returned to Utah. This morning after sending Paige on her way to school, we took Kayla to Grandmas and hit the road. It was really hard leaving the two girlies behind, but I was very anxious to see our boys. Matt is only staying for the weekend and then he will head home and be Mr. Mom for the week with the girls and I will stay down here and take care of the boys.

When we got to the hospital today it was so nice to walk in the room the boys are in and see two cribs. Aiden and Collin were moved into open cribs yesterday. The boys all looked so much bigger. They changed alot over the week.

Last night Aiden and Collin weighed the same at 4 lbs. 4 oz. and Brock was at 3 lbs. 15 3/4 oz. Hopefully tonight he will break the 4 lbs. mark. It sounds like he will get to move into an open crib tomorrow. Yeah!! Today Aiden's feeding regimen changed. He has moved to what they call PO Ad Lib. Which means over the next two days he gets to eat between every 3 and 4 hours, whenever he is ready, and he only eats from the bottle. If he doesn't eat very well they will still NG it through his tube. If he does well after two days, they will remove the tube and see how he does for two days with the tube out. If he does really well with that, they say we can take him home. That's right. You heard me. He could be home by next weekend. I am so shocked. I really didn't expect this to happen quite this fast. And the best part is, Collin isn't too far behind. Probably 4-5 days behind is all. Brock is a different story. He is struggling with the one bottle. He is just a little more fragile and will take some working with, but he is probably a good 2 or even 3 weeks behind the other two.

When I left home today it was really hard. I just wanted to get all of us together. So I can hardly believe that it will be sooner than expected and we will all be together again. We aren't there yet and anything can change, but we can definately see the light at the end of the tunnel. Here are some cute pictures of the boys for you to see how much they have changed.
