On their 99th day in the NICU, Lenny and Lou were finally discharged, with an early morning departure coordinated by a very eager Mom. The girls have now been home for 52 days and my, how time has gone by!

Both girls have grown into healthy newborns. Louisa now weighs 10 pounds and 11 ounces and Lennon 10 pounds and 4 ounces. It's a workout for Mom and Dad to pick them up!

Even though they are out of the hospital, the girls have no shortage of visits with doctors and therapists. 

They are seeing their pediatrician, a pulmonologist, cardiologist, endocrinologist, nephrologist, audiologist, ophthalmologist and neurologist, as well as one of their neonatologists from Yale. Oh, and they will soon be getting visits from a physical therapist and occupational therapist twice per week and a development therapist once per week. Busy is an understatement.

Don't let all of the attention fool you, Lenny and Lou are doing great. The girls enjoy music time with Mom and are building up strong neck muscles during tummy time. They are tracking their toys (and their parents) around the room and even giving away some smiles while doing it!

The girls have been to their first brunch and taken some strolls through Central Park. They've hung out on a rooftop and become great travelers on their trips to Nana and Papap's. They've made Mom laugh and made Dad squeal.

And of course, Mom and Dad are learning a thing or two about work and responsibility. The girls eat their bottles every three hours to keep them growing strong - and to keep Mom and Dad sleep deprived. Sometimes those feeds end up on the couch, the wall and Mom and Dad's clothes but with the way the girls are growing, they clearly don't notice too much.

But even though they're tired and occasionally a little flummoxed, Mom and Dad are so content to have their beautiful girls home with them at last - out of the hospital and stealing hearts everywhere they go.

Watching Lenny's endless expressions and hearing Lou's new cries and coos make Mom and Dad so proud of their girls for their tireless fight for life.
