Collins weighs 4 pounds 3.8 ounces today. She is feeding great, controlling her own temps, & the best part is... she's leaving with us!! Collins was discharged from the NICU this morning after a 9 day stay. She will stay with us at the Shepherd House over the next week while we wait for Casen to be discharged as well.

Our sweet baby girl! I'm not sure how we got so lucky...

Casen weighs 3 pounds 13.1 ounces today. He had a good feeding session this morning & actually breastfed for 10 minutes - the longest stretch so far! He's also slowly increasing the volume he can draw from a bottle & got up to 10cc this morning. For now, he's still in his incubator with his NG tube in place.

Nana & Pop (Bryan's parents) drove in this morning from Dallas for a quick visit. They couldn't resist getting to see their grandbabies, especially since Mike had to go back to work last week before the NICU allowed grandparents to hold them.
