Home!

My mom had this quote on her facebook status and I just had to steal it because it holds so much truth to it. She said "Home-It's Why We Prayed"

The girls came home yesterday and their 1st night/day has been great. They are amazing little people and I adore them so much. I can hardly take my eyes off them. I cant get over how beautiful they are.

They got home at 8 last night and it is 8pm now so they've been here for a full 24 hrs and in this time I have only had to use formula for 2 feedings! And that was because we came home last night at their dinner time and they were not willing to wait for my milk and then the other time they had formula was today while we were sitting in the dr's office. So pray I can continue to supply my own milk for them.

The nursing has been a lot better than expected. I have nursed Molly several times and each time she takes it like a champ! I havent tried Emma yet. I will soon. I wanted Molly to get the hang of it first.

So Today was our 1st trip to the peditricians office. It's standard policy for NICU babies to follow up w/ pediatrician the day after discharge.

My babies left NICU weighing 4lbs 0.8 oz for Emma and 4lbs 8oz for Molly! My little girls are gaining so well and fast. Just yesterday I was excited Emma made it to 3lbs!

Today at DR they weighed 4lbs 1oz and 4lbs 8.5oz.

My pediatrician believes the girls are on their way to acid reflux. :-( I had a feeling this may happen, however still praying against it. Emma has the same eye infection Molly had a while back so pray that goes away soon.

The next two weeks are jammed packed for me with DR's appts for the girls. Eye exams, head ultrasounds, neurologists, cardiologist, etc...

Im going to get a real dose of reality when its time to get 2 babies fed, dressed, out the door, and into the DR all by myself because Daddy will be back to work. :)

Wish me luck, tho I may not need much. I am thoroughly enjoying this sleepless life called "mommy hood". :)

Pictures soon, I promise!!!
