After 34 days in the NICU we are adjusting to our new "normal" which is having Riley at home and Evan and Payton still in the NICU. We LOVE finally having a baby at home to cuddle :) Grandma Sharon is here for a bit which really helps with the multiple commutes we are still making daily. She is great at keeping Brody so busy and entertained he doesn't even know we are gone (well, he still misses us of course!) We are fortunate to have such awesome parents all around.
As much as we love Riley at home, we do think that he misses his brothers a lot!! He is such a snuggle bug, with Ben and I at home and with his brothers when we take him to the NICU to visit. I have some great pics to post but we are having home internet issues and waiting for a new router to arrive before I take the time to upload them, sorry! Riley also had his 1st pediatric appt on Monday and he checked out great! He weighed in at 6lb1oz, a long way from his lowest weight of 2lb15oz!!
Taking care of 1 baby is quite a change from the triple baby cares we have become accustomed to at the NICU, it is almost boring! haha. We should sleep more with the little downtime we have and have managed to get in an hour nap in afternoon on most days, which is nice. Although it may have been easier to have all 3 babies in one spot we couldn't be more happy and don't mind the added difficulty that this brings. We just hope that this all inspires Evan and Payton to pick it up and get discharged themselves!!
