Is HOME!!!! I went to feed Isabel this morning at 10:30. Shortly after I got there, the neonatologist on for the day came over to give her the once over. She asked me a number of questions and then sprung this one on me, "So, do you want to take her home today?" I had to asked her if she was serious a couple of times!!! I guess she was serious because as I type this, Joel is being a great husband and making me a peanut butter and jelly for dinner, Garrett is playing with his cars in the floor, and Isabel is sleeping in her cradle.
We we released from the NICU at 5:50 this evening. At discharge, Isabel weighed 5 lbs 7 oz. She is putting weight on like crazy!!! She has gained 2 oz since yesterday. We will go to the doctor Monday morning and they will do a weight check on her to make sure that she has continued to gain weight while home with us this weekend.
Garrett was pretty cute to watch as he checked out his baby sister. At first he stared at her and then he started reaching for her. Joel put his face up to Isabel's head and stuck his lips right on her head!!! Her first kiss from her big brother. Too cute!!!
I'll let you know how the night goes when I get up tomorrow. No more sleep filled nights!!!

We are so happy to see the four Whittens all together at last.What a beautiful family.We know it hasn't been an easy road but you have all done great. Misty wasn't the easiest person to keep down but when the time came she was a trooper. Joel,I'm not sure how he kept it together but he sure did. From seeing to it that Garrett was taken care of to making sure Misty had everything she needed if it be comfort or care, plus keeping a watchful eye on little Isabel. He deserves a big thank you, you did good Joel you did good. Mom and Dad Corwin.
