Sam and Luke are finally home!

After 12 very long days in the NICU, both boys are finally home! Yay! They let Sam come home on Sunday, so we've had a few days of parent practice. Unfortunately, Luke had a couple minor set-backs, but he bounced back quickly and was deemed perfectly healthy and ready this morning.

Days and nights at the hospital were exhausting, but having a stream of visitors and well-wishers from a far meant the world to both Matt and me. These boys are already loved by so many.

Thus far, they do plenty of sleeping, eating, and looking cute. That's just about it. Although, we'll see how the first night with two babies go. As for me, I continue to feel great. Tired, but great. Matt's doing fantastic trying to juggle it all too. He's an amazing dad. :o)

I have been getting updates from the outside world, and I was really disappointed to miss Renee's shower. I heard it was a great time with great food and some amazing apron stories. A giant congrats and welcome to the family!

We'd like to bring Sam and Luke to meet everyone sometime, but we'll have to play it by ear. In the mean time, I've set up a website to post pictures of the boys. (http://www.sandlpictureproject.blogspot.com/) We took a billion while they were in the NICU, and I've already taken a ton today too.

Here's the boys in the 100+ year old Stamp Family Laundry Basket. It's been in the family doubling as a baby bassinet for many years, and it's apparently quite good luck. Elissa was kind enough to pass it onto us after Taylor used it. Guess it'll be on its way back south any day now for the next baby. Sam and Luke say good luck Team Bright!
