The first night at home has been completed and they have now been home for more than 24 hours. Little sleep was had by most in the house including the dog. Maggie couldn't figure out what the noise and commotion was all about. The good news is that tonight is another night to attempt to set a routine again.
The grind is the going to be the hardest part. Tomorrow won't be much different than today, but it will bring new challenges because we will still be short on sleep. I pray we are long on patience and don't miss the forest because we have entered the trees. When we went to visit them in the NICU it was easy to remember to snap a few pictures of them, enjoy the feeding process, and listen to their little grunts while they slept. Today I had to grad the camera before I sat down to write this just to make sure we had pictures of them today and last night the grunts didn't seem too little.
I did not realize how much I liked the monitors they were on at the hospital. I hated the wires and hard it was to change and hold them, but I liked being able to look up and see a strong heart beat and know everything was okay. At home that security blanket is gone and I was not able to sleep through their grunts. I am sure it will come in time and Jacqueline will be waking me up soon enough asking 'can you not hear them.' In my early morning fog I am sure I will respond, 'hear who?' So here is to another night closer to a routine.

Everytime I see newborns I want to cry still and it has been almost 2 years since Titus came home with us. Definitely one of the best days of my life.
