Coming Home

The day Graham and Carson were born was the day we started asking the doctors when they'd be able to leave the NICU and come home. We were told they wouldn't give us a timeline but a good rule of thumb is to expect them home by their original due date, which in our case was October 25th.

We felt good about the progress they were making and their relatively high birth weights, so we set our sights on having both boys home by October 3rd, Ryan's birthday.

But the boys did so well, we got to take them home a whole week ahead of our original goal and got to take both boys home at the same time, something that we were not expecting to do!

We spent their final night in the hospital with them, so that we'd have the nurses nearby to help answer any questions that came up. Then we went home to make sure everything was ready before heading back to the hospital to load the boys into their car seats and head home!

Here we are with some of the NICU staff who took such great care of our little guys that they were able to come home so soon. Dr. Chen, Nurse Maureen, Nurse Angie and Nurse Susan. All of them are amazing people who will forever be part of our memory of Graham and Carson's birth!
