HomeComming

Marcus came home on Friday and his rockstar sister Josie came home one day later! We had a FUN weekend! Honestly, (I will be eating my words later) the kids are a breeze. They are on a 3-hour feeding schedule and eat about 15 minutes apart. Neither Josie or Marcus are big criers (until diaper changes and bath time). When they wake up between feeding times, they just look around in their crib and go back to sleep until we get them out. In fact, we got 9 hours of sleep last night. I am documenting this blissful time so you all can laugh in my face later :)


I know everyone is excited to come visit the babies. After all, thanks to all your thoughts and prayers, we have two of our babies home in less than two weeks. However, we have been repeatedly warned by the doctors to keep visitors to a bare minimum the first 6 weeks. After that, we need to continue to be extra cautious. We need to remember that these babies are only 35 weeks tomorrow and they are still suppose to be growing inside my belly. Their immune systems are not fully developed and if they contract something as simple as a cold, they will be back in the hospital immediately. We know that NONE of us want to see the hospital EVER again. We promise we will welcome visitors to see the babies as soon as we are out of the danger zone.

Our tiny Mia is still at the special care nursery but she is making big strides. She has been regulating her temp great and has moved to an open crib. She still has trouble taking all her feedings by bottle due to her small size. We expect her to come home in another week or so. Till then, mommy, daddy and grandma will be making lots of trips to see our precious angel. Honestly, she probably loves the one on one time she is getting. This is something her brother and sister have yet to recieve.
