WE ARE HOME!

We are finally home! After just 12 days in the hospital the girls were ready to come join us at home. It has been a little crazy (reason why it took so long to post), but I know we will settle into a routine soon or at least I hope! The pictures posted backwards on here and I can't get them to move around.

This is one of their favorite ways to sleep

When we visited the girls in Shreveport it was always in the day and they would hardly open their eyes so we thought they just slept all the time since they were so small. Well not so much they just have their days and nights mixed up. Last night was interesting to say the least! Olivia cried off and on from her midnight feeding until her 3a.m. feeding and Elizabeth took her turn from 6 to 9 this morning. At least if they would get on a schedule to fuss at the same time we would get more sleep. But it is all worth it to be able to sit and look at them in our own home. As far as visitors go we have to be super careful so if you have a cough, itch in your throat or a headache we can't let you in our house. If they get sick for the next two months it is straight back to the hospital for them so sorry if I have to tell you no! We will get some more guidelines when we go to the doctor on Tuesday, but until then we are quarantined to our house. Today Drew stayed at home with the girls alone while I went with my mom to find some preemie clothes. After visiting all 3 walmarts in town, I think they will have enough until they grow!

Thanks for everyones prayers while the girls were in the hospital and hopefully soon we can share them with you!

Drew and Jill,
They look beautiful and healthy! We found a pretty large section of preemie/newborn clothes at Burlington. That got us through until this month. Let me know if you need anything.
