The boys are home!!They were discharged on Friday. Both turned the corner pretty quickly but still, 2 weeks in the hospital was a long time! The nurses and dr's at Virtuaa were wonderful. They took such good care of the boys, loved them and held them knowing that we had to be home with the other 2. I went with my dad to pick them up. Logan was very exc ited to have his brothers home. He is so cute. I was very nervous the first night. My sister Allison stayed until like 2:30 in the mroning and helped Bob. I was able to sleep for a bit and got up around 4 to help with the morning feeding and be up for Logan. My mom came over at 5:30 in the mroning and my dad shortly after. What would we do without them?? The weekend is a blur. Allison stayed Sat. night also and all day Sunday. My dad left to return to Florida Sunday for 2 weeks. Logan misses him so much. He calls him uppa and my mom amma. Too cute. When he gets up in the morning he asks for them. He hasn't quite gotten Allison down but knows as soon as I ask him about her who I mean. The boys have been doing well. Justin and Noah are both on zantac. They still reflux and we go through A LOT of burp cloths, bibs and clothes. Laundry never ends. But we seem to have quickly gotten back into the swing of it and although we are alwasy tired we are so glad they are all home. Bob's brother and sister in law came over Sunday while I took Logan to a birthday party at my friend kim's. It was nicwe to spend the afternoon with him and to see Kim and her family and friends. Many of whom I have not seen in quite a while. Her daughter Kyra was Christened 2 days before I ha the babies and I was not able to make it even though I am the Godmother. my sister stood in for me but I am still sad I missed it.
Today we followed up at the pediatrician. My mom and I went this morning and as I am sure it will alwasy be, it was a production. The dr's office is great. They take us right back so we do not have to sit in the waiting area with bunch of kids. Even though they got RSV their immune systems are still weak and so they can't be around other kids for another month. Then flu seson will be over and they will have their second set of shots under their belt. I am counting the days till spring. Mason weighs 8 pounds 10 ounces, Justin is 7 pounds 15 ounces and Noah is 7 pounds 4 ounces. All still growing and doing really well considering the setback in the hospital.
Noah is still really noisy ALL the time. He grunts and groans more thanany child I have ever seen. My mom stayed over last night and pulled an all nighter with me. She could not sleep a wink because he kept groaning. I told her she needs to ignore him. Hopefully she will bring ear plugs wednesday night! She stayed all day today and we cleaned the house. She will sleep well tonight. So lucky to have her!!!
I have been going to bed around 8 or 9 and sleeping until about 1 or 2 and then Bob goes to bed and I do the rest of the night.
I have to go now becasue Justin is crying and needs a bottle and Mason will be up soon. I don't have a ton of time to write but am committed to continue this blog as long as possible. Thanks again to everyone who has helped and prayed for us. We appreciate so much each and every one of you.

That's great news that all the boys are home where they belong!! I can't believe how much they all weight...they must seem so big to you now. I especially liked to hear about how noisy Noah is. Catie (our new one) is the same way. She's quite a grunter. I wasn't used to it because Hailey didn't really do that (or atleast I don't remember her doing that). The good news is that she's not really a crier...so I just let her grunt and know that she'll eventually fall asleep. Having known your family for so many years I know how wonderful they all are...this whole experienced has just proven it even more!! :-)

Hi Tracey & Bob,

We're so glad all the babies are home and doing well. It was lovely taking Logan to the park on Saturday and I'm not sure who enjoyed it more, Logan or me!!!!

I know that you have lots of help right now but if you are short handed please call. I am free every evening this week.

Love
