Colorado Tepens: Finally Together at Last

After 7+ days in the hospital, Wesley was able to make the long walk home...yes, Diane made him walk because she didnt want him to mess up the car. Luckily, I was in the trailing car and decided to pick him up. He did have to come home on oxygen, but hopefully it will only be a short time until he is truely among the breathing.

The first few nights alone with Mia and my parents went really well. Mia ate when she was supposed to, seldom cried and slept really well. And then....well, lets say opposites attract. Wes on his first night, he fussed incessantly, didn't want to eat nicely (if he could have thrown the bottle at someone he would have), and cried the first three hours in his crib. Lets us all hope he starts to take after his little sister or else I will become just as grumpy as Diane.

The second day together went much better. We thought that since they spent 9 months crammed next to each other, they are used to being that way. So, in Diane's infinite wisdom, she crammed two babies into one bobby. Wahlah...happy babies. I was thinking it must be some type of behavior osmosis or something for it to work in such a short amount of time. Just wish I could patent the idea so we can pay off the NICU bills that will be soon showing up at our door. Another thought came to mind that we should do a temporary change of address and send them to the Nuetzels. Since they have another baby on the way, they wouldn't notice a few more bills.
