Today was a pretty fantastic day for our little guy. The team uttered the words we have been waiting to hear! I don't want to jinx it, but there is a really great chance our little guy will come home in 2015 and ring in the new year with us!

Last night Wyatt passed his car seat test, which tells us that things are going in the right direction. In order to pass, he had to go 90 minutes without having a brady lasting longer than 30 seconds. This is a little different than the alarms on his heart monitor, which sounds much sooner than that. He did require some additional head supports while in the car seat, but that is something we can replicate and is not uncommon for premature or late pre-term babies. Our little man just needs some extra support and he will get it.

| Daddy feeding Wyatt |
Brian was able to feed Wyatt today and both of my boys did an awesome job. I had to leave for a doctor's appointment, so Brian was in charge of the 11 am feed while Nana watched. The speech therapist joined for the feed to give pointers for a successful feed. Wyatt nursed for his 2 pm and 5 pm feeds and did awesome for those too!

| Please stop being so cute! |
We continue to pray that our little guy grows and grows, while learning all of the skills he needs. Please pray that the next 12 hours or so go smoothly and that Wyatt is able to join us at home, if he is ready. Mommy & Daddy probably need some prayers as well-- bringing home a baby is tough work and bringing home a baby with some medical issues is a little scary. We know he will do amazing things at home, but we also know there may be some anxiety as well.

Thanks for your continued support,
