Good News All Around!
Both boys have their feeding tubes out! It is so nice to see their beautiful faces without those tubes! They are doing so well. They also had their hearing tests and car seat tests yesterday - all passing grades. So, what does all this mean???
They (hopefully) get to come home tomorrow!!! We are so excited!!! We are heading to the hospital in a few minutes for the day...and the night! We get to "room-in" with them. That just means they put us in a hospital room and we take care of them all night - with the nursing staff right down the hall, if we need them. I cant believe that our boys are 10 days old and we haven't gotten to spend a night with them yet. It is so hard to leave them at the hospital everyday! If everything goes well tonight, we will get to bring them home some time tomorrow! Please pray that everything goes well!!!
Thanks to all for the prayers and support! We cant wait to share our little guys with you!

Two of a Kind...Working on a Full House
Our twin boys are doing great, but they don't get to come home quite yet...
I am so sorry it has taken me so long to update, but the last few days have been jam packed! I was released from the hospital on Wednesday. It is so nice to be home, but we hate that the boys aren't with us.
The boys are still in the NICU. They are doing great! The doctors said yesterday that all of their blood work, etc. is excellent, they just have to learn how to eat! Fortunately, it does get better every day and we are only two steps away from them coming home! We are hoping that will be on Monday, but it may be a little later in the week.
They eat every three hours (8, 11, 2,and 5) , so we are going up to the hospital for half of their feedings. We get up there for the 11 AM, then stay around in that area the rest of the day. We have lots of errands to catch up on before they come home, so we are taking advantage of that time between the feedings.
I am doing well - tired, of course. It has been difficult getting back into the swing of things. After being on bed rest for so long, my body is rebelling a little bit. We are just asking it to do A LOT!! But it is getting better every day.

Parenting - Day 3
Well, I can one thing for sure...it has been a whirlwind! But we have the most precious, beautiful little boys! They continue to amaze us!!! They are doing so well. The doctors all seem very happy with their development so far, and their blood work has been good. The only thing we still need to get a bit better at is feeding. They still haven't really figured it out; both boys still have feeding tubes. The doctors say that feeding is sort of like a light switch - one day that switch will turn on and they just figure it out. We hope that day comes quickly, so they can come home!!! I will probably go home on Wednesday, and they will have to say until Friday at a minimum. They will remain in the NICU until they go home. Alan and I go down to see them for every feeding during the day - taking turns to hold and love on each of them. They eat every three hours, and then we come back to the room to pump. So, once you add in some eating and a couple of naps - that's our whole day!!
Thanks to everyone for all your calls, e-mails, and messages. We truly appreciate all of your love and support!!! And we are very sorry that we haven't been able to talk to most of you! We are all doing well, and look forward to all of you meeting our precious angels!!!
