So we tried to get some pictures of the kids and Cody. Of course when we started Cody started screaming and wouldn't stop. We tried some family pictures too and he is screaming in every single one of them. But here is one of the kids and one of Cody by himself.

So we are doing good. We are still very glad that Cody is home. He is struggling with some reflux and Colic. So mom and dad need to get some ear plugs. We got some medication that hopfully will help him feel better and be a little happier.

Dallan and Allie are doing great. They love to help with Cody. Dallan is doing so well in school. He just loves to go and Allie can't wait til she can go to school like Dallan. Allie has finally learned her ABC's and is starting to carry on quite the conversations.

Brent is trying to survive the last few weeks of school this semester just to start again in January, but at least he will get a small break.

I am trying to stay sain. :) I am looking forward to the annual shopping the day after Thanksgiving. It will be a much needed break.

This is Dallan and Allie's first time seeing Cody (except through the glass at the NICU) So they were really excited to see him home. They are the best big brother and big sister anyone could want. They are very attentive and want to help. They also know the rules about cleaning their hands before they touch Cody.

I took this picture today as Cody was laying on my chest. He loves to be held. In fact he screams most of the time if you put him down. He screams a lot when you change his diapers too. But I think that is because that is when the nurses would poke his heels and do all the test to him. So he has bad memories. He is getting better. He looked so content this afternoon I just had to try and get a picture and I think it turned out okay.

As for everyone else we are doing well. Trying to get back into the hang of life. I am trying to figure out how to get anything done between feeding and changing Cody. Poor Allie wants attention and Dallan is awesome and helps out so much. Allie would love to be able to take care of Cody.

Here is a funny tid bit. I am breast feeding and I've explained to the kids that moms body makes milk for Cody and that is all he can eat right now. Allie asked me to do something and I told her I couldn't because I had to feed Cody. She thought I said that she had to feed Cody. So replied in panic that she didn't have milk in her belly to feed Cody and he would hurt her if he tried to eat from her belly. There is no milk in there!! She was so upset. It took me a few minutes to convince her that she didn't have to feed Cody, I was going too. :) All in the eyes of a three year old.

Welcome Home Cody!!!!!!

We made it!! This afternoon Cody got released from the NICU. We had a great day yesterday and a great night. Yesterday Dallan and Allie were able to come up and see Cody through the window. The nurse took him off the oxygen to wheel him up to the window and didn't put him back on to see how he would do. And he did it all by himself! So we just had to make sure he was eating well. He has been eating wonderfully and this afternoon the Doctor came and gave him the okay to go home. We were really excited. We had been planning on tomorrow.

So Thankyou everyone for all your prayers and support!!! This has been the hardest trial for us to watch our baby struggle so much. Love ya all!!
