These two little munchkins are eager to meet their sister! Emily is now on a "5-day watch" which means she needs to have 5 days without any significant alarms going off. If she passes that, she will come home! The earliest date she could come home is this coming Monday! It's sooo soon!! Of course, if she has a de-sat or something in the next 5 days, we'll have to start counting all over again (which we hear is very common), but she has done great today so far. One day down, four more to go... The end is in sight! Praise God!
Emily is now 5 lbs. 5 oz! She passed her second (and final) eye exam yesterday (which is a huge sigh of relief because eyes are a big concern for preemies) and passed her hearing screen last week. Eyes and ears are fine. She's looking so good and doing so well, it's hard not to want her home now.
Thanks to all of you who have prayed for us, sent cards, brought meals, and more... I'm losing count of all the kind things people are doing for us. I could be writing thank yous for a week! From the bottom of my heart, Luke's heart, and my children's hearts (although they don't realize), thank you!
We're on the home stretch. Pray that Emily will continue do well so that she's able to come home soon. :)

Monday! Ah! It's hard to believe that the reality we've all been hoping for and praying so much for, is right around the corner. We'll continue to pray for good days, no more de-sats, and that you can feel prepared to have sweet little Emily home soon, Monday or not. Such great news, Kim!
Love,
Jenn
