Waiting for my babies to come home

My sweet baby Jagger was due to come home yesterday. But that didn't happen. On Tuesday we were scheduled to stay in Parent Care for 24 hours. For those of you who aren't familiar with Parent Care.... it's basically a trial run with your baby. The day before you bring a baby home, they set you up in a room at the hospital. You are allowed to take up to two babies at a time. This is practice; with the nurses on call for backup. They also bring you food!



Todd and I were elated that our time had finally come. We showed up at the hospital on cloud 9 and our bags packed. This was going to be the first day in 9 weeks that we could be alone with our babies. Yeah, think about that one for a minute. We are all smiles. After scrubbing up and getting into the NICU, we were informed that both boys were about to be circumcised. Ouch! Twenty minutes later my baby boys were wheeled away. This was really hard for me because I ordered the pain they were about to endure. After a short time that seemed like forever Jagger and Silas were back kicking and screaming. My heart was broke. As Todd and I held them trying to ease the pain, Jagger had a Brady. Todd and I both know what that meant; Jagger won't be able to come home. They must be Brady free for at least 3 days before going home. But it was right after he was circumcised. I think they should have given him that one. I wanted to say to the Dr., "lets cut on your pee pee and see if your heart drops for a second!" heeheehee...but I didn't. So now he has to go 3 more days without a Brady. I just called the hospital and they said all 3 babies have made it 24 hours without one. They are probably going to come home the same day. WOW! I'll take it anyway I can get it! Just come home to momma!
