Welcome Home

Kai has been home since Monday afternoon and he has really been enjoying himself!

Got super cozy in his carseat and did great on the hour drive home with Henny and Gramma. 

He did end up coming home with the NG tube (feeding tube through his nose) but it was lose and we took it out later that night to see how he would do without it. At first he was doing just fine, then each feeding he kept taking less and less until he was averaging just under half a feeding each time. So yesterday when I took him to the Pediatricians for his first check up, we decided to put the tube back in, and of course he took his next feeding in full, like a champ, but that didn't mean I could take the tube back out...
Other than that he had a nice check up and we will go back again next week as well as other specialists appointments to follow.

He really loves to be held since he spent so much time lying in a crib. It's just amazing to have him home where he belongs and back with his family. It's weird sitting here on my couch holding him when just a few short months ago I was confined to the couch on bed rest with him totally miserable. And now I could sit here all day with him holding him and sharing my life with him again.

To say the least he's been a typical "newborn" since coming home. All he's been up to is sleeping, eating (a little), rocking in swing, and getting diapers changed. I actually went for a walk with him yesterday as well andI look forward to many more.
