Three's Company

Rainer made it! He had 5 successful days with no "Bradys", so we were able to take our second little boy home. I can't tell you how good it feels every time one is released from the hospital. Even on our third time, I am still thrilled and amazed as we drive home that they are letting us keep them. It's an overwhelming feeling to know that your whole life's happiness is sitting in your back seat for the first time. I think Rainer is happy to be home now with his brother and sister.

The hand-off. He's all ours now!

That's one proud papa.

Welcome to your new home.

Three babies snug in their crib. I can't wait to see four little heads soon.

Our sweet little Jane. She was scheduled to go home today with Rainer, but started dropping her temperature this morning. They put her back in the isolette temporarily and have decided to wean her into a crib a little more gradually this time. The nurse still says that she should be home by the end of the week. She is an amazing little girl. She is now four pounds, which means she has doubled her size since birth. It was sad to leave her all by herself, but she was all smiles when we left.

Things at home are going great thanks to the help of our mothers. We have learned to feed two babies at a time and will have some experimenting to do tonight with a third thrown into the mix. Right now we are feeding the babies every three hours which makes 24 bottles a day. We also diaper them each time we feed and sometimes in between if they need it. By the time Jane gets home, we'll be going through 2 packs of diapers a day. We don't know what to expect when they all get home, but we're looking forward to the day.
