A Glimps of Reality!

After over a week of staying away, Devin and Brooke finally got to see the boys again. They both had gotten new colds and were not feeling too hot, but are better now. They really enjoyed seeing and holding the boys, but we didn't last too long. After dumping popcorn, milk, yogurt and crackers on the floor, I told Jason we have to get out of here before we destroy this room! Devin went running down the hall and Brooke chased after him, they both were yelling. I thought, I am going to go crazy at home! Thank goodness spring and summer are coming, we can spend time outside.
Devin was holding one of the boys and he said "this is a nice baby" and kept saying "hi sweetheart." Then Blake or Jordan, whomever he was holding stretched and puckered up like babies do and Devin turned his head away and said he didn't want a kiss! Brooke put the breastfeeding pillow around her and was trying to feed her gingerbread doll she brought with her.
Blake and Jordan are doing well with eating. Jordan is doing a little better than Blake right now. Blake seems to get tired faster, but they are both getting better and gaining weight well. Last night they weighed 5lbs 13oz each. They are movers and like to stretch out in their crib. Whenever they have a new nurse, the nurse tells me how busy they are and asks how I got any sleep when I was pregnant.
I wasn't able to make it up to the hospital today, but I talked to the nurse and she said they were doing well. They both started fussing so she snuggled with them both for an hour and a half, and they settled down as soon as she picked them up. I am very grateful for the care they are getting at Evergreen, the nurses there are great!
