Little Noah is doing remarkably well. He's been removed from the tanning lights and has had all his tubes removed aside from his NG (feeding) tube & IV. He's breathing great and thus far is tolerating formula from his NG tube well. Best of all, he can now be swaddled in his blankets and is as happy and relaxed as we've seen him. Tommi got a great picture of him this afternoon before we left the hospital...
Grace has been itching to see her baby brother, & she finally got her chance yesterday, albeit through a NICU window. It was something special to see the look in her eyes as she caught the first glimpse of her sibling. She's going to make such a great big sister.
Finally, I don't think TJ will be too enthused with me posting this picture, but I think it really captures the special bond that exists between moms and their kids. This was taken on Thursday evening, Tommi's first opportunity to hold Noah. After being apart from one another for two days, they were both definitely "at home."

Congratulations on that beautiful little guy.
So glad he's doing so well! Nice job Noah. And Tommi, sorry for the c section, been there done that. Good luck clearing the throat in the morning and don't open or close any windows. It's amazing what you use all those stomach muscles for ;)
I'm so glad to hear Tommi is home! What an amazing woman you are. Sweet lil' Noah and Gracie are so lucky to have you as their mom. I can't wait to meet this little miracle baby! He's already something special. Love you guys!
Those pictures brought tears to my eyes....
I am sure seeing Grace's face and holding that little angel for the first time made any memory of all those crazy months disappear.
I hope you realize how many other people you are impacting through this little family of yours. It makes me cry to even think of the love y'all must be feeling.
I know I am feeling the love! (No cheesiness intended!) Seriously, I love you all and continue to pray for you and little, little Noah.
WOW!! Such an amazing family! Such great pictures! Can't believe how tiny he is and am sooooo happy to hear how wonderfully he is transitioning to his new world!! Best of wishes!
