Home Sweet Home.

Miss Juliet made some miraculous strides while in the NICU at Ruby and is finally coming home with us <3



It's exciting and natural but makes me so nervous! She's so little and still requires some special consideration while eating and sleeping. I'm thankful my mom is coming to stay with me to help. 


Birthdate: 3 - 15 - 14
Discharge Date: 4 -5 - 14

Age: 3 weeks old.
Adjusted Age: 34 weeks and 3 days.

Birth weight: 4 lbs 1.5 oz
Discharge Weight: 5lbs 8oz 



We are lucky to get to come home with no tubes or wires. We have many follow up visits scheduled over the next month.  Our germs are much to big for Juliet, So she has some special rules about limiting visitors, hand washing, avoiding public places, and avoiding kids other than her sister for another month or so. We plan on having her a  party once she is big enough to handle all the action!



Big Sister is staying one more night with Mamaw and Papaw while we get Jules home and settled. I can't wait to see what she thinks about her.  She really likes baby Logan from her school, so I'm hoping it goes well!



We have to thank so many people, and we will try to do so in person as soon possible. This will have to do for now...

We have to thank our parents soooo much for basically doing everything for us the past month. We are blessed to have parents that are so devoted to their grand babies and are willing to put their lives aside to help us. There is no way to repay them for all they have done. 
-  Aunt Becky and Doug, who let us move in their house, cooked for us, did our laundry, watched Jaslyn -- we wouldn't have made it through this so easily without them. Their lives can get back to normal now :) 
- Cait and Laura who are my very best friends and came right to my rescue when I needed them most.  We love  them dearly and my girls will always know how much their Aunties love them back. 
- All of our friends in Morgantown who offered us dinner or a place to stay. Especially Brian and Vickie who checked on us frequently and visited Miss Juliet.
- Everyone who called, sent us a message or a gift, or prayed for us during this crazy time. <3 <3 <3

  1. I found your blog through instagram and your sakura bloom photo. The post mentioned "premature" and so I had a look at your feed & it was so familiar...my son was born March 25, at 34 weeks and we are just home from the hospital too! I am so happy that all is well for you and your family - congrats on your new addition! And thank you for documenting everything so well - it was really comforting to read your story and see how similar our experiences were. Anyway, just wanted to say hello & wish you and your family much happiness.
