December 6

On December 6, 2010, we brought Maddy home from hospital.


On December 6, 2013, I went in to the hospital to find Briella without a feeding tube, and taking all of her feeds orally!




Since we got up quite late, I didn't have a chance to talk with the doctors today so I don't know when discharge will be, but I hope and expect it to be very soon. I'm confident that she is ready to come home and that we are ready for her to be at home :) I fed her an entire bottle tonight and she is a LOT easier to feed than Maddy was when Maddy was first discharged! 

It was really hard to leave Briella today - I think partly knowing that we are so close to the end - and also (as you can see from the pictures above), she was SO alert. She's generally such a sleepy baby - as many newborns are - and I don't know if I've seen her this alert and awake before. I just wanted to stay and chat and cuddle with her... 

I'm very eager to talk with the doctors tomorrow to hear what their plans for Briella are - hopefully we'll be home together very very soon!!
