Precious Angel
Margaret's Pod
Another Angle
Cute and Content
3 Weeks Old!!!
Welcome Home, Margaret!!!
Well after a surprise conversation with Dr. F. and the nurse yesterday, we found out that we would be coming home today. We were thrilled with the news but also very nervous to have Margaret all to ourselves (without monitors).
Last night we chose to room-in with Miss Margaret in the NICU. There is a little private room actually inside the NICU for parents to use the night before they take their babies home. So after Margaret's soapy bath and change of clothes, we left the electrodes off and wheeled her down to our room for the night. The nurse left every feeding up to us, so every three hours we took Margaret's temperature, changed her diaper, and fed her. I even tried nursing again (it worked for a good ten minutes or so).
Margaret is a doll! She makes the cutest noises---lots of coos and grunts, which she likes to share in the middle of the night. She hardly ever cries (Wade claims that she is saving it up for this weekend). Even though we only got an hour or two of sleep, it was a wonderful evening and provided us with the confidence we needed to take her home.
Around 9:45 AM this morning, we brought our precious angel home. It has been a wonderful day full of kisses and contentment. We are so thankful for all of the thoughts and prayers for our little girl. We are truly blessed and know that God is monitoring all of our lives. We will put our trust in Him.

We are thinking about you guys! We'll miss seeing you at the NICU, but are so excited that she is home! Keep in touch, and we'll keep you all in our prayers!
Praise God from whom all blessings flow! What an incredible tiny bundle of blessings Miss MB is! Blow tiny little OHS kisses to her and to both of you.
I will continue to pray daily.
