I have been horrible at updating my blog since the girls were born, but wanted to write a quick update. Because the girls were born early at 34 weeks, they needed to stay in the hospital for about 20 days to gain some weight and learn how to eat. They both gained about a pound and a half up from their birth weight and are now at a whopping 5 1/2 pounds! I know it doesn't sound like a lot but to us it seems like a million pounds because of how closely their weight was monitored day by day in the hospital. We were able to come home a few days ago and it has been wonderful! It is great to have their feeding tubes out and not have all the monitor wires hooked up to them any more, but most of all it is nice to feel like we are now real parents and they are actually ours. It has definitely been an adjustment juggling two babies in the middle of the night, but it hasn't been as crazy as I anticipated. I'm sure it will get crazier:)
I will update more a little later about the delivery and our stay in the hospital, but wanted to post a few pictures of the girls since they have been home. They change so much every day! We love them to pieces.
