TOGETHER AT LAST!!!! The day has come....they are home and together, and they couldn't be happier (neither could we). As we wheeled the double decker out of the NICU we had mixed feelings, however. We wanted to get the heck out of there, but I was also scared about the monitors. The weight is literally on our shoulders to make sure they breathe now -- no pressure. They are both still experiencing A's and B's (forgetting to breathe and dropped heart rate), which is why we have the monitors. This is incredibly scary without nurses, drs., staff, oxygen tanks, etc. The problems mostly occur during feeding. After a couple of midnight calls to the NICU for advice we got through the night. It was not easy at all.
God bless all mothers on this Mother's Day. The experience is fresh in my mind and believe me, we owe our mothers everything. Not leaving out fathers, etc.....but, moms really go through a lot to get little miracles into the world and I guess the love and giving never stops.
I could not ask for anything more today. Just to know that BOTH girls are in this world and safe with us is blessing enough for me.
FYI -- To new moms: When you get your first haircut after delivery.....don't do anything drastic! I felt daring and got bangs, not a good idea. So, my look is a little rough right now btwn the extra weight, the leftover breakouts and the new hair. Yikes! ;)
Gotta go feed some babies!

Hey Nyens! I've been getting regular updates on you guys through my mother-in-law, Lynn Watson. I heard that you guys were looking for vaccine info. I'm currently reading a great book about vaccines (trying to educate myself for our baby that's coming soon). It's written by a doctor, and seems to be pretty well-rounded and unbiased from what I've read so far. I'm learning a lot from it. It's The Vaccine Book: Making the Right Decision for Your Child, by Robert W. Sears, M.D., F.A.A.P.
