Safe and Sound

Holland made the trip back from Children's hospital today and is now resting safe and sound at St. Joe's in her isolette next to her little sis. In some ways I feel that she knows she is back. She definitely looked to be resting so much easier after they cleaned her up a bit and got her settled in. The staff at St. Joe's was so kind during her absense and asked about her everyday. They all missed her and were excited today about her return. I know they will give her the TLC that she needs over the next few days. In no time at all she will catch back up to Eden and they will be sleeping in a crib together. I can't wait!

Eden had another wonderful day today. She is the model CPAP baby! Take a look at the picture and you will see just how cute she is. She is up to 6 cc's of breastmilk every three hours. That's half way to full feeds! She should start getting fatter any day now. Both babies are at 1 lb 8 oz. We're hanging in there for the two pound mark. Tonight at 3:02am is their 4 week birthday. I can't believe so much time has passed so far. 28 days with many more to come...and every one of them a blessing.
