More steps towards coming home!

Today I decided to stay home and rest and let Drew and his parents go and spend time with the girls and apparently the girls had a big day again today. They both went all night without a spell, Elizabeth gained half an ounce and Olivia an ounce and they both took their feedings well. Today they both passed their car seat test, which is when they are put in the car seat for one hour (about the time it will take us to get them home) and have to sit there without any spells. They also received their RSV shots which will help keep them from getting sick. Here are some pictures from the day, but since I did not see them in person today, I am not 100% sure that I got their names right. I think they look more and more alike! Also they said that if the girls continue to do well, they might get to come home as early as Wednesday. We are trying not to get our hopes up to much because we know a lot can happen, but at the same time we are going into a little panic mode trying to get everything ready. Pray that they continue to do well and get stronger and stronger everyday!

This is Olivia in her car seat, Elizabeth finished her test before Drew got there.
Here is Elizabeth
Here are some pictures of Grayson from last weekend. My parents gave him an new vacuum for Valentine's day and he loves helping mommy clean
I know after seeing his sisters he looks so big, but he really has grown this week and the biggest change has been how much more he is talking.

This is Olivia
This is the picture I really am not sure about! I think it is Olivia? (Drew's note: Umm...not so much...try again...)

Do you see what I mean? Looking more and more alike! It did not help that they are both dressed in yellow. Once we found out that we were having two girls, I had nightmares several times a week about not being able to tell my daughters apart!
Olivia on the left, Elizabeth on the right.

Drew laughs at me about not telling them apart and says he has no problem, but from the pictures I am not sure so I am sure he will gladly let ya'll know which ones I was wrong about, but just remember he has spent more time with them so far!
