A much better day

Well today was a MUCH MUCH better day with the babies. Blake was leaps and bounds better today. He seemed more comfortable and wasn't screaming like yesterday. I think he was still sore and he's still taking tylenol but overall a completely different boy than yesterday. He even managed to gain 40 grams overnight which is amazing!!! His 2 incision spots are pretty red and sore looking and his poor little man parts looks all black and blue which is quite normal I guess...

Here is the boy on his big day..before we left for Childrens all strapped into his isolette..

Oblivious to the torture he was about to endure. He's got a bad case of baby acne right now and some stork bites forming on his eyelids, Alyssa also had stork bites and actually still has one between her eyes.

The horribly bumpy ambulance van on the way there.

The even more bumpy Neonatal intensive care ambulance for the ride back

Coming back after it was over..The ambulance bays were full so they had to roll him through the snowy parking lot while screaming at the top of his lungs.

Leah our little princess is always good and never asks for attention or fusses over anything...she is such a good girl she's been getting a little over looked the past few days...She eats a 1/2 hour before him so when she is done she gets put down because Blake is always ready for his food...he usually gets a good snuggle in afterwards. Daddy came by today and gave her some extra love...


I don't want to jinx it but we were told that Babies will be discharged on MONDAY!!!!!!!! Can you believe it!!! Now they have this rooming in thing if you want, they will take you to a different part of the hospital and let you have a room to yourself without monitors and 24/7 nurses so that you can take of them yourself yet if you had questions, problems etc they are just around the corner... We can do that or just take them home Monday but I think we are going to room in just to give us one last night of reassurance so really we will be home on Tuesday...Woohoooo and holy smokes all at the same time I can't believe it!!! It will be 7 weeks when they come home, its gone by slow and fast all at the same time.

Both babies have really bad diaper rashes...This is how I was greeted the other day when I walked in..haha they were letting their bums air out! Alyssa has always had aweful diaper rashes and it looks like these 2 will also.

These are some cute pictures of Alyssa over the past 3 Christmas. She loves this snowman, we'll have to keep it for years to see how everyone grows!
