Peas in a Pod.

So, the girls are in the same bed now! They are both done with their IVs and light therapy for their jaundice so they get to be two little peas in a pod! It is pretty crazy when they are right next to each other to see how much they look alike! Definitely identical...






My mom is here now and has been a great moral support and help around the house. Plus, the girls love their Mimi!



One of the nurses made cute little name tags for the girls isolette - you can see them in the photo above. The staff here is so caring and nice. It is easy to get overwhelmed by the alarms and noises in the NICU, but the nurses are all very patient and explain things constantly so I'm not having a heart attack every time one of the girl's heart rate drops.

I definitely can't wait until they are home. It has been grueling trying to pump every three hours and be at the NICU as much as possible. I hope they will make good progress this week with learning to bottle and breast feed and hopefully they will be allowed to get into a regular crib as opposed to the isolette so we can hold them more.

Thanks to everyone at my office who has been bringing food - it is a huuuge help. And all the comments here, on Facebook and notes I have received via email are great. I am trying to stay connected with the outside world, but, man, it's hard!

Can't wait for everyone to be able to meet my sweet girls. More soon...
