We had the best Christmas gift...we brought our little girl home! YAY!! I wasn't sure it was going to happen really. The dr. came in on Christmas Eve and told me we had a 75% chance of going home, but he didn't want to get my hopes up. He said he was going to put her back on the billirubin bed for the day just to get her billi levels down a bit more. We did that same thing with Little GB and it sort of set us back a few days...so I was thinking the same thing would happen with Little S. I came home on Christmas Eve to be with Little GB, since he is now aware of what Christmas is. We had a nice evening and we woke up to a phone call from the Dr. saying that he was comfortable enough to send her home. So we opened up presents with Griffen and let him play a little bit and then he went over to Grandma and Grandpa's house and away we went into the hospital to pick up our present! I was so excited. My (along with dozens of others) were answered!! It has been so nice to have my little family all under one roof. I took Little S to her regular pediatrician today and she is still on the little side. She weighs a whopping 4 lbs 9oz. So we are going to supplement her feedings even more. I was giving her a bottle with breast milk with formula added 2 times a day, now we are increasing that to 4 or 5 times a day to see if we can "bulk" her up. But all in all she is doing great!! Thank you to everyone for all of your well wishes, prayers, thoughts, emails, etc. We are truly blessed and know that we are being watched over and protected. This experienced has strengthened my faith quite a bit. Here are some recent pics of Little S and her big brother!!
