He's Home!!!


            This is a picture of Teagan waiting for his dad and sisters to pick him up, he was very patient!


So we've made it. Little Teag’s is home and healthy. He is still on an NG tube which is feeding him breast milk, but hopefully that will change soon. He passed the swallow test yesterday with flying colors. We couldn't be happier, we have heard of so many babies taking a along time to pass the test. So with that being said, we couldn't more proud of our little man and what strength he is showing. We are planning on doing little bits at a time to get him so that he can take a bottle.
It was so fun to bring him home today. I dressed him in his first little camo outfit and he looked like such a cute little guy. Our girls came down with us this time to pick him up. They were so excited to see him, it was cute. On the way home Emma was sitting next to him and she wouldn't let go of his hand. I can already tell they are going to be best friends.
I want to thank everyone for all of the love and support you have shown to my family while I have been away. We have had so many people doing so much for us, it’s like I have had my own little nanny since I have been gone. We have had dinner almost every night and we have had so much help with people watching and driving our girls around. I wouldn't have been able to spend so much time with Teagan if I didn't feel comfortable leaving. So thank you again so much.
Love,
Amanda

  5. I would also call myself sisters to Jenn and Alisha:). The picture with the bottle makes me cry. You shouldn't have to wait that long to get to feed your baby, but I'm so happy for you. You are in our prayers. It was nice to talk to you tonight.
