Could it possibly be...?

...our last night??  It's too hard trying not to be excited about this (a la our "no expectations" rule for ourselves)!  If Emerson doesn't have any other breathing or heartrate drops tonight, we'll all be going home tomorrow, Wednesday!  We're feeling a little apprehensive, as she just had one during dinner (drops during feedings don't count towards restarting a countdown)...  We'll see!

Today was also a big day.  Pops left today and said goodbye to both girls before heading to Dallas for work.  


















Charlotte took her first car ride!  We took her to the pediatrician for her first check-up, and glad to say she did quite well.  Her weight is up to 4 lbs, 12 oz - she gained 6 oz in the 2 days since discharge!  Of course, the scientist in me must note that there is certainly a degree of error due to variation between the NICU & the pediatrician's scales... but still, it seems she is gaining good weight! :)

And this is another pic of the girls taken together in the NICU from Saturday... I can't help posting it, despite the fact that we already posted another quite similar one - they are just too sweet, especially with Charlotte's right dimple showing!  They both have a pretty strong right dimple, but we aren't sure about the left side yet...
