On October 1st, I was rounding at one of the dialysis centers when I got a call in the morning. Caleb was being released that day! I didn't even have his car seat base so I drove home quick and then went straight to the hospital before they could change their mind! His nurse, Dianna, who had been caring for the twins over the last 4 days was amazing! She showed us a different way to feed them which seemed to make it easier for them to finish their bottles. Dianna walked us to our car and wished us good luck. It was difficult leaving Lauren at the hospital, but I knew she wouldn't be far behind. While I was busy taking care of Caleb at home, Justin would visit Lauren at least daily and my mom also spent an afternoon in the NICU with her. It made it a lot easier knowing she would at least see a couple familiar faces.

Lauren must have gotten lonely being in that "twin" room all by herself, because two days later I received the call that she could come home too!
Proud Big Sister
We celebrated by taking the twins on their first stroller ride to the park!
