'Tis the season (3 months old)

The Brunin family has a lot to be thankful for this holiday season. Corbin and Quinn are enjoying being at home together. Both are gaining weight nicely (Corbin at last check was 8lb 11 oz and Quinn was 8 lb 2 oz) and are up to eating 5 oz. Dad and Mom love having their boys at home finally.

Below are assorted pictures from the weeks that have passed. As you can see from one of the pictures, Annie has officially met Corbin and Quinn. She isn't so sure about all of the crying and noises, but is hanging around the boys more and adjusting. The last pics are of the boys in one of their "first Christmas" outfits. Mom had them wear the reindeer outfits the night Rudolph was on television, and Mom may have been the only one who really enjoyed it! Quinn has the binkie in.

Home sweet home (10 weeks, 5 days old)

Quinn got to join Corbin at home today!!!! The NICU extended stay is finally over!!! The hospital will not be missed, but the wonderful nurses, therapists and doctors will be. They cannot be thanked enough for the loving care they gave to the boys.

Mom and Dad are looking forward to staying at home and taking care of both boys from this point on.

Hopefully more pictures will be added from time to time, but for the most part the posting will be much more infrequent. Here's a slew of pics from today, along with two movies from the homecoming.

Getting closer (10 weeks, 3 days old)

Both boys are over 6 pounds! Last time each were weighed, they both actually weighed 6 lb 2 oz.

Quinn is now up to full feeds! He is currently taking 6 of his eight feedings by bottle and doing a nice job with it. He is back to his old self now and loves being cuddled every chance he can get. Hopefully he will be home with his brother soon.

Corbin is enjoying being at home. He had his first pediatrician appointment this week and all went well. He is eating well and gaining weight nicely.

We will try to get more pictures up soon!

Tug of war (9 weeks, 5 days old)

With Mom and Dad now juggling the boys being in different places, unless there is big news, new postings will only be every few days...

Corbin is adjusting well to being at home. So far things have been calm, and as long as he is fed on time, he's been a peaceful baby (knock on wood). Mom and Dad have a hard time not holding him when they're home!

Quinn is still getting his 15 mL's of food every 3 hours, with the occasional feeding being by bottle. The immediate goal is for his stomach to keep normalizing so that his feeds can increase in size. When this happens, his IV fluids will be lowered and eventually stopped (which will help reduce his puffiness) and he can start working more on bottle feeds as well.

Here's Corbin fighting off sleep, while Quinn had no problem giving in to a nap.
