Miss Malia went ahead and decided it was time to finally come home today, 73 days after her birthday. As we reported previously, she really was knocking her feedings out with ease, so she managed to string together 2 full days of feedings, and passed her car seat challenge, hearing screening, and ROP eye exams with flying colors. It was quite the hectic day as Austin also had his followup eye exam, so we didn't exactly have everything together for Malia's arrival, but we'll improvise a little until we all get settled in. It hasn't really sunk in yet, but between the intensity of having two babies at home and the sudden convenience of not making our daily hospital rounds, I'm sure it will all make sense soon enough.
We're so proud of our kids for making it through such a dangerous journey. It was an eventful prelude to what should be a very normal upbringing of two very well-loved kids. We're happy to turn the page on this seemingly endless chapter, and will never forget the support we got from so many people along the way.
More to come in the days ahead... but for now, some pictures.
