6 days old

Before a baby update...I wanted to give a mommy and daddy update. Our story is really unbelievable! It is amazing to me, too. I know it is very obvious to most that my mental state has been all over the place. The only way to describe how I have survived the past few months is the phrase 'tuck your head and go.' Luke and I have both been in a 'zone.' i know the end is near and we will have two new babies home very soon. also, without family and friends, we wouldn't have made it. Thank you will never be enough! Hannah has been shifted from one place to another and has been such a good girl considering all the changes.

I also want to mention that we appreciate everyones phone calls, texts, emails, visits, etc. Please know that if you don't get a return call, email, or text; we are not ignoring you. We are trying to keep up while trying to feed two babies throughout the day, rest, etc... It is all very surreal. We cant wait to be home and have a new routine.

Also, the babies can't have visitors in the nicu. I wish everyone could see them but, for now, we can only share pics. This is to prevent germs in the nursery.

Update on babies: Ella Clare is almost to her birthweight. She is nursing and eating from a bottle like a champ. Drs say she is an overachiever, wonder where she got that from? Also, she is having bradycardia. They have just taken her off of caffiene so she can correct on her own. Fives days after bradycardia, she can be released. Jake is bottle feeding a few meals and gerbagge (sp?) other feedings in his nose. He is a small fry and just learning everyday.
