day one at home

Sorry to keep you waiting; we've just been basking in our family-ness today. Logan is adjusting well to being home. He was up for a while last night, but I suppose our apartment is darker and quieter than the NICU. Thus, I invested ten bucks in a CD of ocean wave sounds. Hope we don't all wake up in a wet bed in the morning : ) Our biggest issue right now is that the formula he gets twice a day (because he's a preemie) is apparently difficult for him to digest as he brings it back up even hours after eating. Thankfully, the monitor has been quiet which is a huge answer to prayer. We hope it continues as things would be much more stressful and anxiety provoking if it was alarming.
I've been trying to upload pictures to a couple of different places today with no success, so if you're waiting on me, you'll have to keep waiting. I got to do a little bit of cooking today, which relaxes me. I have an incredible live-in dishwasher, which makes it more enjoyable too. (I just have to make sure I have the mess made by the time Logan's ready to eat because that's when Dale steps in to clean up for me : )
Thanks again for calling before stopping over. We've had a number of requests about ways to be helpful, even from miles away. Of course, we most appreciate your continued prayers and well wishes. We appreciate the efforts you've made to keep us updated on life "out there" with things going on with your families, etc. In trying to protect Logan from some of the illnesses running around while his immune system matures, our apartment walls could start to close in a bit over the next few weeks. I anticipate a great deal of computer and telephone time : ) If you're wanting to do something (and please do not feel obliged) gift cards for groceries are awesome. We have a dear friend who's been doing our grocery shopping when we can't get out and its nice to hand off preloaded cards.
We hope you're having a wonderful weekend because we are! Both of my boys are sleeping soundly in the living room, so I suppose I should start shuffling them off to bed. Much love to each of you!
Dale, Michelle, & Logan
