Home at Last Home At Last ...

Well it really was much shorter than anyone thought it would be. We were all amazed. And Grandpa was there to see it. Grandpa also put the car seat base into Mommy's car, in belt and suspenders fashion using both the included strap and the seat belt/shoulder harness, either of which could be used alone.)

Took picture of both babies, with Grandpa holding Kat, Dad holding Beth, and Mommy in the middle. Also Mommy holding Kat, and Grandpa holding Kat.

Elizabeth arrives home!

But little Kathryn is Still in Stir.

However she is off the lights. (This photo is old, she no longer has the IV line in her scalp) No real estimate of when she'll get to go home. She ate like a piglet at the 11 AM feeding 20 minutes "ON" plus 30ml of supplement/stored "Good Stuff", 3 PM was done by the NICU nurses, and she didn't eat quite so well at 5 PM, but neither did Elizabeth, who got to go home anyway.

We're hoping Beth grows into one of the other two car seats by the time Kat comes home. She was just barely too small for one of those, but fortunately they had another one, the one in picture above.

Thanks for the updates....prayers that Beth grows enough for another car seat, and Kat keeps making steady progress so she can go home soon. Way to go, Girls!!

What a little angel! She is beautiful!

I could only see the one picture of Beth in her carseat. Maybe you can repost Kathryn’s later.

Kathryn wanted to be Mommy fed!

Prayers continue for their health and wellbeing.
