Nope.. not brittany spears... so if you're looking for fantasies with her and two others.. quit reading!

just officially announcing that brittany came home today.. that makes the 3rd of the triplets home and in their own beds.. no more monitors, no more tubes, no more beeps, just plain dealing with brothers and sisters.

We were finally able to get brittany home without me having to go down and hold back the NICU staff while my wife whisked our child away.

We went through many challenges at the end. It basically seemed to us that the nurses wanted brittany to drink her bottle in an allotted time, 30 minutes or less, when she took longer than that.. they just figured it was easier to put it in her NG tube.

As long as she was getting feeds through tube.. they kept her.

We convinced them to write it in the orders to give Brittany 45 minutes per feed and guess what ? she started taking every feed, full feed through bottle.

Just goes to show what can happen when you set your mind to it.

Now the fun begins... 6 children at home full time, oldest is 6 ..

think it's time to go start setting up my tent in the back yard

In all seriousness, thanks for all the support and information this forum has given.. it really has helped

Congratulations!

6 under 7? Hang on! It's gonna be a helluva ride.

I just love this - "We convinced them to write it in the orders to give Brittany 45 minutes per feed and guess what ? she started taking every feed, full feed through bottle".

I wonder how much that 30 minute cost rule you in terms of days, dollars, and sanity? Way to go in sticking up for you and Brittany.

Yeah, the tent should make a good "Daddy Hideout"

I thought the title meant that youhad a child that turned three years old. After your wife posted about this post on the main bords, i felt stupid for mis-interpreting the title.

So, without further ado:

WELCOME HOME BRITTANY!!!! and CONGRATS TO THE FAMILY!!!!!

I remember the anxiety of wanting them to come home. As 1 and 2 "trickled" in, it was painful not to have the complete set in one place.

I wish you all the best of fortune now that you are "on your own"

That's great news! You are right....the fun is just beginning now. As for the tent in the back yard, I think that is a great idea....a nice quiet getaway.

Good for you in putting your foot down. It seemed like our third was kept as a prisoner too.

>think it's time to go start setting up my tent in the back yard<

LOL...a thought probably shared by everyone here.
