They're Home!

On Thursday, Jenn surprised me with the homecoming of not only herself, but our two beautiful girls.  Elisabeth Marie and Katherine Faye are home to stay now.  We are all doing so very well.  The girls are sleeping for 2-3 hours at a time...a good start.  Jenn and I are getting a little sleep, so all is well.
The girls go back for their one week check up on Thursday.  If miss Elli has gained weight she'll stay with us...if not...she gets to visit the NICU again.  We'll pray that all of the food she's been pounding down helps to bulk her up.
I am going to start, simply, embedding the link to my facebook account into these ramblings.

I love Grandma



Bye for now.

Katherine

Kati was discharged today!  She will spend her first night in a hotel with Jenn.  Hopefully we will bring Elisabeth home tomorrow or Saturday.

wow...over one week old

Here are the new pictures of our gorgeous ladies.  They are hopefully moving into cribs by tomorrow evening.  They will hopefully move quickly from hospital cribs to bassinets at home.
Enjoy the pictures.

Update

The girls are doing well...all three of them.  The little girls got their IVs out yesterday.  They also got stop phototherapy for jaundice.  They eating anywhere from 35 to 50 mL of food.  And they becoming more beautiful by the day.
Jenn is doing well.  She is getting rest, and is enjoying being a mom.

The men of the family are doing well, also.  George and Ryne are a little stressed at the in/out life I am leading right now, but are dong well.
I am little tired from the commuting, but will deal with it.

bye for now.

More pictures and ramblings of an obsessed father!

Our girls are blossoming.  They are absolutely gorgeous.  Jenn and I are nothing but stricken with awe at how amazing these two little girls are.  Below are some pictures.  

I had to start commuting for work today.  Kind of sucks, but money, for some reason, is necessary for survival.  

I feel ok being away from them for a little bit, because Jenn is such a great mom and the girls are doing so well.  Kati and Elli are both off of IVs now.  They are solely on formula and milk.  They are doing so well. 

We'll keep you updated on the girls and their journey toward home.  

Pictures

                                        Here they are.  Pictures of the most beautiful twin girls ever!

Here's the Riley twins!

They made it! Elisabeth Marie and Katherine Faye are here.  Katherine came out weighing 5lbs 11oz and 45 minutes later, Elisabeth joined us weighing 4 lbs 8oz.  They are doing very well.  Because they were premature they will be residing in NICU for some amount of time (a week, 2 days, a month).  The next post will 4 or 5 hours, and there will be pictures. They are beautiful.  Jenn did such a great job today and yesterday (22 hours of labor).  Look for pictures soon!


bye for now.
