Ginger was discharged on Monday and was able to sleep in her own bed last night. It is mind-boggling to me how quickly she is recovering. I had a non-invasive appendectomy and when I came home I slept for 36 straight hours. She had two major surgeries in a week and comes home to climb stairs and pump breast milk every 3 hours through the night. God knew what he was doing when he designed for women to have children.
It is so settling to have our base of operations shift back home. We went in to the NICU to see the boys from about 11:00 - 3:00, and I suspect that will be our routine for a while. We were able to take in our own clothes and blankets for the boys, so for the first time in their lives they are not wearing hospital clothes!
The big news of this day is that the NICU nurses are now talking about Charlie coming home a week from Thursday. We are so excited about this possibility that we could split! We are both hoping that Win and Wes would be able to follow a few days later, but, at least at this point, Charlie is the frontrunner.
Below are a few more photos from the day (so you know, the reason Charlie has no pictures is because he is the champion nurser, and Momma forbids those pictures). The night nurses at MGH got the boys together for their first photo as brothers, and we are trying to get it scanned so that we can post it as well.

Rob and Ginger-
So nice to hear that you are home and to see pics of the boys, Poppa, and your hand. I'm with Ginger on the nursing pics!!!! We'll look forward to seeing Charlie soon.
Prayer going up for you daily. Looking forward to making it up North to meet the nephmanies and to see you soon.
Love

Ging,
Wes looks like you. Win I don't know - I don't think you, but I don't think Rob, either (any resemblances to relatives I don't know?) Can't tell from Charlie's picture, except that he's adorable!
Thanks for all the pics! Can't wait to see the "brothers" pics (and with you & Rob, too, after you photoshop yourselves in...)

Hi Guys,
I just got through the blog and am so thankful that everyone is okay. God is so good! Lesa and I will be praying for you guys. If there is anything else we can do, please don't hesitate to ask.
The boys are absolutely adorable. We can't wait to meet them next time we are in Boston.
We miss you guys!
God Bless,
