November already?!

The past two months have been a crazy whirlwind and I can't believe it's already mid-November. I thought I'd jump on here (despite my long list of things to do, which includes taking a nap) and catch y'all up on what's happening in our lives.

After 31 days in the NICU, Abigail finally came home! She's still on oxygen, but we're hoping she'll be off that by the end of next week when the home health nurse comes. Two hours after we got home, we got a call from the hospital saying one of the babies had tested positive for pertussis (whopping cough) and had to take her to the dr.'s office , which is conveniently only 2 minutes away, to get tested. As a precaution, they put all the babies on an antibiotic for 5 days. The combination of her transition to being in our home, and the antibiotics made for one fussy baby, at least for her. She's a lot better now, is sleeping better, eating better, and not so fussy.

We love having her home with us and having our family all together. We were lucky enough to have my mom come for a week to help us with this transition and I'm so glad she did. I always told myself I wasn't going to be a worry-wart of a mother, but I think it's innate. You can't help it! and it was so nice to have her there to reassure me, give me advice, and for me to ask her questions.

We also got Netflix and I've been watching 30 Rock from the beginning. Mostly I watch it while pumping to make the time go faster and keep myself awake during the night. We also love our new apartment. Although it is smaller, we like the floor plan much better and I think it's more inviting. We also have a nice storage closet out on the patio so that Abby still has a closet instead of using it for storage.

I also had a baby shower here in CO thanks to my lovely mother-in-law! My sister-in-law Susanna did the games, and it was a lot of fun! Thanks to everyone who came and for all the gifts!!!


Here are some pictures!
Here's us coming home from the hospital on the first snow day of the year!
