Easton is Home!!!

I didn't give much detail about Easton coming home in the last post, and then I have had so much fun being home with the kids that I haven't got around to filling you all in... so here it is:
Last Monday I went to go see Easton and while I was there the doctor came to do the daily check-up on Easton. She asked the nurse if she had any concerns with Easton other than the fact that he still needed to gain weight.. and the nurse said no. So the Dr. told the nurse to put Easton on straight breast milk with no added calories and then if he did well with that then he would get to come home on Tuesday. I was so excited!!! At this point, Easton was weighing 1725 grams or 3 lbs. 12 oz. and the other doctors kept saying that they wanted him at 1800 grams or 4 lbs.
So on Tuesday we went up and he had actually lost a couple of grams and I was so worried that they weren't going to let him come home... but they did!!!!

This is Easton wireless and on his way home!! He wasn't so sure about leaving... he had a very concerned look on his face. Kylee was so excited to see Easton and Dylan was distracted and didn't even realize that Easton was home.
Dylan has figured it out now and loves to hold him and kiss him.

Kylee and Dylan come running as soon as they hear Easton cry. They love to help!! Easton is doing so good at home and it is nice to have all of my family together.

We did take Easton to the Dr. on Thursday and he weighed 3 lbs. 14.5 oz... which is great because he is gaining weight. We did however find out that he has two different hernias: one is an umbilical hernia which will fix itself within by the time he is 6 months. The other one is above the groin area (I don't remember the name) This one will have to be fixed surgically, but we won't have to worry about it for a year, if it doesn't get worse. Other than that everything else is great!

We would just like to thank all of you who have showed your support through the comments that you have left on our blog... there have been so many that we have not been able to respond back. We would also like to thank everyone who helped with watching the kids so that we could go up to the hospital. You have all made the past 7 weeks easier for us to get through!
