Published by Kerry | Filed under Max and Wes Milestones
This entry was written on Tuesday, April 1st – we just were keeping it a “secret” because we wanted some privacy (in this oh-so-pubic life we have now), I hope you all understand. =) We wanted to “come clean” because it looks like Wes will be in the NICU for a little bit longer than we had originally expected, and frankly, we need the support. I’ve been getting increasingly more worried about my mild PPD getting worse if both boys aren’t home with us soon, and thought that sharing this great news with the world would make me feel a little bit better.
Max was given his walking papers on Tuesday, March 31, 2009, after spending 43 days in the Swedish NICU. It was a bittersweet day – on one hand, we were really happy to have at least one of our babies home, and on the other hand, it was heartbreaking to leave our little Wes at the hospital. We documented the day in photos, so enjoy!

All strapped in

Ready to go!

Safe and sound at home

Congrats on having one of your boys home! I’ve enjoyed your blog for a while now and finally have something to share. I brought my youngest home on oxygen, and a nurse finally (after like 4 weeks) told me to cut the grips in half. They still work like a charm and don’t take up their entire face. Plus less sticky to clean off! Again congrats and I’ll pray that Wes will be home soon!

I kinda thought that Max got to come home when I saw Wes was the only picture on the scale. I’m very happy for you guys. Loved the pics of Rex giving kisses to Max. Continued prayers for Wes to join his brother(s) soon.
