Disney World?

Disney World is the place that the nurses refer to as home!  Well we are pretty close to Disney World!  I have not posted since we got the second baby out of the NICU last Saturday.  Yes Brayson has checked out!  He checked out on July 9th around 3pm.  He  and Emerson have been in our care for a little more than a week.  Now we just have to wait on Cooper.   Cooper is almost ready!  We are patiently waiting and it has been really hard!  Cooper has accomplished everything he needs to but the heart rate drop.  His last heart rate drop was on Thursday July 14th.   So we have one week from that date which would be Thursday the 21st of July.  However after talking with the doctors this morning it looks like it could be earlier than expected.  We could be going home tomorrow!  Yes if the Coopster doesnt have another heart rate drop we will probably be home tomorrow, Monday July 18.  July 18 was Jill's original due date.  

It has been a fun week with Emerson and Brayson at the Ronald McDonald House.  On Monday we took them to their first doctors appointment over in Ocean Springs.  This was their first unofficial visit home.  It will not be official until we have all three of them.  But anyway they got to meet their big brother Logan.  Logan was so excited to see us!  He really did not know what to think about the babies besides wanting to lick them.  The babies are taking a bottle every three hours on the hours of 5, 8, 11, and 2.  The 2am feeding and 5am feeding have been really challenging.  I only try to do the 2am feedings on weekends.  However I wake up for the 5am feeding every morning except on weekends.  Jill's mom is batting a thousand or 100% .  She sleeps out in the living room with the boys and has participated in every feeding since the babies arrival here at the Ronald McDonald House.  We could not have made it through the week without her.  Its going to be fun when we do really get home with all three!  

Thanks for all the prayers and thoughts.   Please continue to pray for our family that we will be going home soon. 

Thanks
Jill & Amon
