Thomas Jr. has been home for 2 whole days!!

He surprised us again on Friday when he was released from the Intensive Care Nursery 2 days ahead of schedule. Needless to say, we were thrilled and caught off guard all over again. We had even asked on Thursday if he'd be released on Friday and they had said no.

It has been awesome to have Thomas Jr. home safe and sound. He is healthy and continues to eat well and get stronger.

Caky is also doing very well as she continues to rest and recover. She has called Thomas an alarm clock because twenty minutes before each feeding, day and night, he begins to ask politely for his scheduled meal.

He cries only at changings and before some feedings, if then. Beyond that, he is as content as can be. Grandma "Nana" Carol Ann Corcoran has called him as "a very well mannered young man." "Nana" has been with us since his birth. The changing of the guard will occur this Tuesday when my mother "Grandmommy" Ceci Royals will come down.

We gave him a little bath last night and he had a fit. The aftermath of that bath is captured in his open eyes of the two pictures above.

Feeling the love from everyone! More to follow. We're loving you back.
