He's home!

After 12 days in the NICU, Marcus came home with us yesterday mid-day. He is on oxygen, but on the lowest amount that the tanks go to.

Mommy's little piggy, as I have begun to call him, weighed in at 4 lbs 4 oz and eats almost two ounces every 3 hours. Pretty impressive for a little tike. I think I'm going to be in trouble when Marcus gets to be a teenager. This kid can pack the food away. He also continues to be cute and sweet.

This picture was taken about two minutes ago. I love that I get to have him this close and sleeping.

















However, this picture is my favorite. These are the littlest socks I could find. Someday they
won't be knee highs!

I like your new little nickname for Marcus! Does he squeak like a little piggy too!? I'm so glad you are all home together. Time to redefine a "normal" day!

Yay! I'm so glad he's home and I've been able to hold him twice! You're doing a great job fattening him up, Liesh! XOXO
