I was so anxious about the babies' homecoming, but the second we left the hospital I felt a serenity that I have not felt for some time. Sure, the first 24 hours were tough, but I feel like the NICU was like baby boot camp-trying to care and love your children under some fairly crazy circumstances. Being home with them (dare I say it!) seems so much easier. Perhaps because it feels so much more natural. Our pack and play bassinet seems to be a little too soft for them, and the apartment is a little too quiet, so we made a snuggle camp on the floor (a la Tom Hanks once rescued in Castaway) and we leave the television on. Our upcoming road trip is a little daunting, but I feel like we can really take on anything right now. Perhaps I am delirious from lack of sleep or euphoric from having them near me but I today was a really great day.

Looking forward to my sleepover!
How does Nori know to wave on cue??? She may be ready for kindergarten when you get to Red Bank! They both looked so content in their camp site.They are going to be the best-traveled babies ever - probably will see more states than Chuck!! Hope the road trip is a quiet one. Can't wait to see everyone - Love...NONNA
God bless you and your little angels. I work with Lena at Wachovia. I read several pages of your blog,watched the little videos and laughed out loud at those little darlings. Best of luck to you and your little family.
