Getting settled in and leaving the NICU

Leaving the hospital yesterday was bitter sweet.  It was hard to say good bye to Brielle and Rianne knowing I wouldn't be able to see them as much now. 

But it was exciting loading Teagan into the car and taking her home.  She did really well on the ride home and the first few hours at home, but then things got rocky. 

She decided she needed to continually cry unless we held her or slept in the nursery.  (They say twins and triplets can sense when their siblings aren't around and I believe it). 

We were warned that a change in environment can be hard for them to adjust to, but she seems to be setting in this morning.  She is already off her four hour schedule as of last night she seemed to want to eat every three hours. 

Her oxygen compressor makes a lot of noise and we aren't looking forward to adding another one when Brielle gets home.


Brielle had a rough night last night.  She had two spells, one of them requiring bagging.  She is having issues swallowing when she eats and we are hoping that it is due to reflux and the Prilosec they put her on will help.

Rianne had a rough morning eating as well.  A speech therapist is coming in today to feed her to see if they can determine if she has reflux as well or if something else is going on.

I know this is wrong, but I thought Aunt Jemima Pancake Syrup when I saw this, I don't know why...
