Wow, I can't believe it's been over a week since Clarie came home. She was able to come home last Friday evening. Time has really flown by! Our biggest concern with Claire coming home was her feeding issues. She has good days where she eats very well and then days when you basically have to force her to eat. Before she left the hospital we learned how to insert the feeding (NG) tube, just in case she was having trouble eating. Ok, I'll be honest I practiced only on the dummy, John actually inserted the tube in Claire. Just like at the hospital she has had good days and some rough days. The first few days at home weren't easy. We went to the pediatrician on Monday and she lost an ounce from her discharge weight on Friday. We are hoping it was just a difference in the scales, but we will go back this week for another weight check.

The girls are doing well at home together. At first when one would cry there wasn't a reaction from the other, but it seems like the longer they are home once one cries the other has to cry, yell, or scream louder. Last night around 1AM they had a yelling/screaming/crying contest. I decided that I didn't want to be left out so I joined. And I won, because eventually both girls must have decided they couldn't compete with me and gave up!
