Two down!

The girls came home Saturday,and it's been crazy ever since (obviously). They have been really good, but they eat every three hours and that alone takes a lot of time - forget the pumping I have to do and the fact that they poop constantly (breast milk does that). I try to get at least an hour of sleep between feedings but it's not always easy. And today, PJ is working at the fire house so I'm really on my own.

My mom came over this morning and helped me take the girls to their first pediatrician's appt. He said they're beautiful healthy babies (which I already knew... LOL).

After that I went and visited Jack and my mom stayed in the car with the girls. He's doing pretty well, they keep lowering the settings on his vent to make him do more breathing on his own. The swelling from the surgery is better, his lungs look better.... it's a day at a time but so far so good. I held him today, and PJ and I both got to hold him on Saturday, so that's a sure sign he's feeling good - they wouldn't let us hold him otherwise.

I'm so tired right now I'm not sure this is making sense... LOL. So I will just post some (aka a zillion) pictures then feed the girls AGAIN then try and take a nap. :)

SATURDAY NOVEMBER 3RD - KATIE & CHARLOTTE DAY!

Charlotte Getting Dressed to Go Home:


This little face kills me!


Daddy dressed Katie.... didn't get pics of her outfit. :( Here's her pink suit:


Charlotte in her pink bear suit:


Then we went and held Jack - it was sad to leave him behind:


Wheeling out of the hospital... the girls said, see ya, NICU!

Finally, in the car - let's go!


We're home, and happy to be together again:
(We don't put them in the bed like this - as soon as we put them down, they wiggled over to be close to each other, and do it every time. It is the CUTEST THING...)

THE END... for now.
