Me Lovin on Bayley when we first got to the NICU for the LAST TIME!!!

Bayley's very first look at the outside world!!!
She wanted to know where her sunglasses are.

Bayley in her new bed for the 1st time. 
What a fatty... 3 pounds 15.7 ounces 
Bayley's first big girl bottle!!! She did great.
Ok it is pretty obvious....BAYLEY GOT TO COME HOME!!! She is 3 lb 15.7 oz. She is taking 50 ml of milk per feeding. Her head ultrasound was negative and she passed her carseat tolerance test. Dr. DiCarlo met with us and reviewed her entire history. He went over all meds and everything that has happened to her since the consult with Dr. Strange. Tanna was our nurse today. Christy & Amanda were both there today and came to say bye. Those two girls were lifesavers. Tanna educated us on premies....just incase yall wondered...do not ever let you baby chew on electrical cords...NO JOKE...that is on their check list...which means some idiot actually did it. We got to leave the NICU at about 5 til 3. Bayley did really good on the ride home. She likes her bassinett...the whole 5 minutes she has been in it. We have held her ever since we got home and Im thinking it is going to stay that way for a long time!! She took her 1st bottle out of a Dr. Brown's bottle at 6 and she did really good. We are so glad to be home. I talked to John Chitwood before we left. He is the daddy of Clair which is one of my favorite babies. Clair is 8 weeks old and still on CPAP with no real end in sight. She too was a 29 week baby. Clair didnt have a good day today so please keep her in your prayers. Also, Please remember Chandler Ferguson in your prayers. He was born at 25 weeks 1 week and a few days before Bayley. Chandler is at UAB NICU and is struggling. He has had many setbacks and that family is truly struggling. I cant tell you how much our time spent in the NICU has opened my eyes to how much these families go through. We are one of the lucky ones and I am so thankful for that. Please continue to keep our Bayley in your prayers as well. We go to Dr. Latona's Office at 8am Monday. More tomorrow....

Yay, Bailey!
That is WONDERFUL!! I am so glad she is at home! She is so beautiful!
That is great news. I know you guys are so happy to have her home.
We're so glad she's home!!! So many prayers have been prayed and answered on her behalf! We won't stop praying for her now though!
Ben and I are so glad that Bayley is home. Even this last week, Kim would text me while I was in the hospital and keep me updated on how she was doing. I am so happy for you guys!
I teared up as I looked at those pictures! She is so SWEET! I hope she is sleeping okay. Congratulations on being home! Call me if you need anything while Brian is at work (or any other time I just assumed you wouldn't be leaving the house anytime soon)
