Double the Joy, Half the Sleep!!!!

Milina and I will be rooming in the hospital tonight in preparation for bringing home both Adam and Mia. Yes that is right, BOTH twins will be coming home tomorrow if all goes well tonight and tomorrow morning. Adam was apparently just waiting for the go ahead news on Mia. As soon as the plans started rolling for Mia to come home Adam decided it was time. Sunday evening the nurses weaned down his oxygen and he has been off it ever since and responding well. The next steps are as follows. Milina and I will "room in" at the hospital tonight and the twins will be off their monitors. They also must pass a car seat test. They will be placed in a car seat today while in the NICU and monitored to make sure they can keep their vitals stable. If all goes well they will come home with us sometime tomorrow late morning/early afternoon. I do not know if Adam will have an oxygen monitor on him or not. It is possible that they send us home with an oxygen monitor as a precaution since he has not been off his oxygen long. Of course there is always a possibility that he reverts back to his old ways of breathing and has to stay a few more days but either way they will both be home soon.
