She had a good night as did her mommy and daddy. We ran our last errands that we needed in preparation of not being able to leave the house for a while. From now on we have to arrange errands and dr appointments around the 3 hour charge on the monitor, feeding every 3 hours on the machine and other medications. But it's worth it.
We just arrived at the NICU. I will be posting our schedule as I am able. We have lots to review this morning and more stuff to practice. Fun filled day.
I have arranged a small surprise for Keli, but the rain may dampen it.

We are home with Aubrey. Our family under the same roof. It was a flurry of activity for a little while as we unpacked and set up feeding machine to start mid afternoon feast.
More later as we can.

Well, Aubrey is home. With us. All in our own house. Finally. She slept all the way home in her car seat. We got everything inside and got her feeding hooked up and going, got her in my arms and she went back to sleep. Then I laid her in her napper and she kept right on sleeping. My mom went and picked up all her medicine at the pharmacy and brought that to us along with dinner. Thank goodness for my mom. :) It's now getting on towards 6p.m. so I need to go get her medicines ready to go in with her next feeding.

| Aubrey at home. Those are our wood floors, and our baby in the car seat at our home. No hospital gowns, no strange nurses, just us. |

| The surprise I had for Keli. She wanted the mailbox decorated, and so I talked to her mother and she did it for me. |

| This is the surprise Claudia had for me! |
