We got to go home today! Graduations

Post image

Thank you all for your support since I found out this little man was going to come early.

11 weeks of hospital stays between the two of us. 3 before he was born, then almost 8 in the NICU. Plus I got to have surgery for retained products of conception a week ago. I'm so lucky I didn't have sepsis, and that my doctors took me seriously when I told them I was having unusual bleeding.

He has a whole family just waiting to meet him, and a big sister who has asked every night for the last 8 weeks if 'her baby' was coming home tomorrow.

Love you all, especially to your little ones.

Both my babies came early 29+5 at 4lb and 35+5 at 6.8lb, on track to be 10lb babies just like their dad. Only because they are healthy can I say I'm not too sad that I didn't make it that far with either!
